Remember Nature 2025 consists of 16 organisations and 18 artists from across the country who are coming together to champion the environment and to ‘stand up for the planet’.
Art Gene in Barrow will join in alongside the Tate Modern and Serpentine in London as well as Castlefield Gallery in Manchester and many other venues.
The artist Maddi Nicholson will lead the exhibition opening in Barrow and will be joined by two other artists, Alistair Debling and Faye Matloub, at the event.
The Art Gene exhibition is entitled Remember Nature: Intra-Actions.
It will run from November 4 until November 21 between 11am and 4pm, except Sundays and Mondays, and is not ticketed.
The opening of the exhibition will be between 6.30pm and 9.00pm at Art Gene on Bath Street, Barrow.
Describing the Barrow exhibition, organisers say: “The exhibition explores how working people’s histories, colonialism, and industrialisation have contributed to a disconnection from the land – reducing it to resource and erasing ecologies, separating humans from nature and the food-producing environments we belong to.
“Intra-actions invites us to imagine more caring futures where people, place, and ecology are recognised as deeply interconnected – and to stand up for the land and life around us.”
Furthermore, on November 4, Art Gene will host a ‘communal feast’ with food grown at Allotment Soup: The Isle of Walney Community Growing Space – the organisation’s organic allotment site.
Remember Nature 2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the artist Gustav Metzger’s original Remember Nature project.
This year’s initiative is curated by Andrea Gregson and Jo Joelson respectively.
Other artists taking part in the “day of action” are Yu-Chen Wang, Youngsook Choi, Harun Morrision, as well as Patricia Dominguez and Eduardo Navarro.
