Set within the context of global anxiety about the planet, this major group exhibition presents existing and newly commissioned artworks that highlight our connection with the earth and our potential to return to a more harmonious existence with the natural world. It emerges from the argument that, over time, natural and human histories have become so disconnected that we appear to have lost sight of the innate interconnectivity between human and natural life.

Many of the artists deal with earthbound themes, connecting us with soil, plants, seeds, mycelium, animals and birds, as well as the histories and knowledge surrounding these.

Rather than taking an apocalyptic and alarmist approach, the works presented embody notions of care, community and courage, conveying a sense of hope and looking towards a future, where working together, we can still effect positive change.
