Thinking Green is part exhibition, part research space, transforming the Atrium into a community design studio, where we can rethink our relationship to the environment as we embark on the redesign of the gallery’s garden.
About
This project imagines what a garden can be; a sanctuary for wellbeing, a space for creative learning, a haven for biodiversity. It considers the radical aspects of the garden, as a site to grow, model and harvest ideas of social change.
The Atrium offers a critical space to reflect on our relationship to land, from the hyper local to the global, exploring themes of urbanism, rurality, agriculture, industry and climate collapse. By bringing together collections from across the city, Thinking Green will examine our shared industrial heritage, and its impact on empire, extraction, environment, labour and land.
To make a garden is an act of hope, an invitation. This is an opportunity to explore the histories that have led us here, and the possibilities of gardens and green spaces, as a vital archipelago, to keep us alive.
