NATURE AND US EXHIBITION

Virtual Exhibition by Ellie Shepherdson

Nature and Us Exhibition explores the complicated relationships we have with nature, both mental, physical and theoretical. Featuring young contemporary studying artists alongside experienced and established artists; Nature and Us exhibition brings Nature to the forefront of the conversation about the current environmental crisis. The environmental crisis is in reference to the failures in the way we have treated, and continue to treat, the planet; leading to loss of species, dramatic effects on the climate and pollution of the sea. The UK is the most depleted country in the world and the technological advances which benefit us have only pushed us further away from the realities of our environment. 

We need to do more.

In this exhibition we discuss these realities, what we can do to help despite overwhelming evidence of loss, damage and monumental destruction to the planet already. This raising of the conversation is done through contemporary art, showcased in our virtual exhibition, the Nature and Us Podcast and our online platform @natureandusexhibition. Its hard to understand and access the information we need to make a difference, through our series of linked talks, workshops and provided information we show our top tips for helping your local area and beyond; everything has an impact. 

These artists show us what nature can do for us and how our personal relationships with nature can affect us daily; giving ideas on how to re-connect with our environment. These relationships show how we benefit infinitely yet give very little in return.
