Reclaiming Hope, Removing Carbon, a free, immersive exhibition celebrating our 7 CO2RE Artists‘ work and the Greenhouse Gas Removal (GGR) science that inspired them, will be taking place at the University of Bristol Botanic Garden, from the 11th to the 14th of June, as part of the Festival of Nature.
Come reclaim hope in the Botanic Garden. This Earth Day, a year since we announced our CO2RE Arts cohort, we’re excited to launch a 4-day mini-festival of the artists’ work, alongside science demonstrations, workshops, talks and family-friendly fun, in the midst of nature.
Join us at the University of Bristol Botanic Garden, as part of the Festival of Nature, from the 11th-14th of June, where our artists’ work will be threaded throughout; from the Guangzhou gardens to the glass houses.
Free-to attend, visitors can choose their own adventure, with the option to drop-in to see the artworks and the greenery, or go deeper into GGR science, and ritual, with our many workshops, demonstrations and talks, for all ages.
At the mini-festival you’ll have a chance to:
- Witness the peatlands speak through data, movement, music and a giant bubble;
- Discover delicate biochar sculptures hidden in the carboniferous forest;
- Listen to alternate futures;
- Explore rituals taking place in future landscapes;
- Celebrate The Day we Cleaned the Sky, a festive animation,
- Learn more about bio-luminescent breath-activated algae;
- Uncover the docu-storytelling of ‘the Land to Come.’
We want visitors to come away, not only feeling hopeful for the future, but grounded in actions they can take – both large and small, to help clean the sky. The climate crisis can feel insurmountable, but there are cracks of light, and people working to make a difference. Greenhouse Gas Removal is part of the greater whole to address the climate crisis, through our mini-festival of Arts and Science, we want to share its power and potential.
Reclaiming Hope, Removing Carbon. 11th-14th June. University of Bristol Botanic Garden. Full Programme to come, tickets available soon. Sign up for updates on the event.
