This is a FOREST

This is a FOREST was a contemporary art exhibition which took place in October - November. Through art, sculpture, film and data, it explored what might be possible if we work with - rather than against - nature; it exposed systems and structures that prevent ecosystems from thriving.

Alongside the exhibition, a schools programme was delivered, Under Our Feet, a major outdoor learning project for schools, where schools found their own piece of land to nurture.
