The Climate. Emergency. Hope exhibition explored some of the urgent issues around the climate emergency, curated by a team of local young people. It included a range of artwork by local, national and international artists. Central to the project was the contribution young people made in choosing and interpreting artworks, which communicate the imminent threat of climate change but also propose solutions.
The Young Curators group was established in October 2022 and facilitated by creative practitioner, Liz Postlethwaite. Arising from discussions, presentations and gallery visits, the exhibition aimed to share young people’s voices through the work of artists. Included in the exhibition were video, photography, textiles, banners, sculpture, text, alongside a programme of events and activities.
Artists included: Rebecca Chesney, Robyn Woolston, Gregory Herbert, David Maisel, Klaus Thymann, Nerissa Cargill Thompson, Amy Twigger Holroyd, Chitra Merchant, Helen Bendon, Richard Shilling, Maya Chowdhry, Sophy King, Jane Lawson, Brigitte Jurack, Carolyn Morton.
