This exhibition explores our relationship with the natural world and looks at how people across the globe are creating, rebuilding and repairing connections with nature. Featuring commissioned artwork from Sarah Gillespie: https://youtu.be/2P3yv76JIBM
Will going ‘wild’ help us to tackle the climate and biodiversity crisis? Can ‘wildness’ flourish within a city like Exeter? How do we care for things we can’t see?
Wild will challenge the way we think about nature, whisking you to wild places across the world. Find out how communities, researchers and activists are shaping their environments and looking to ‘wild’ for a more positive future. In one case study, the restoration of traditional practices is helping to heal both the land and the people. In others, biodiversity has exploded where farmland has been rewilded, and the reintroduction of animal species is helping to restore ecological balance.
Featuring audio, film and interactive elements alongside natural history collections and artworks, the exhibition prompts you to notice the biodiversity and heritage of the featured environments while questioning our relationship with the natural world.
