WILDERLAND is a 2-year programme of embedded research, public engagement & education activities, creative community workshops, and public artworks for exhibition and installation in the landscape.
It aims to raise awareness of the biodiversity crisis and foster support for the creation of a wilderness sanctuary for biodiversity and habitat preservation and to protect our natural heritage for future generations.
public art and community climate action
WILDERLAND is a multi-strand, interdisciplinary public art & climate action initiative that will connect people to their local environment through a 2-year programme of public events, community workshops, and site-responsive art outcomes that seek to open our eyes anew to the wild places in our landscape & current biodiversity crisis.
It is about exploring wildness in the landscape and in the creative space within ourselves, asking us to reconsider how we position ourselves in relation to the natural world, and how our daily actions can have far-reaching impacts on ecological systems. It is about where the wild places are - discovering them, protecting them, creating them.
sustainable arts
We live in a time where we need to change our approach to production and consumption. We have all become disconnected from the mass produced products we use in our daily lives - artists and their materials are no exception. These three art workers share the desire to develop and disseminate a way of working that not only reflects their own personal commitment to material sustainability within their practices, but a desire to assist others to make art sustainably.
