Species on the Edge Exhibition
November 17 - November 26
Species on the Edge
17th November to 26th November
Tuesdays to Thursdays, 10am to 2pm
Species on the Edge celebrates the end of its four-year programme of conservation with an exhibition inspired by the people, flora, and fauna of the north coast.
Creative practices have been valuable for Species on the Edge in opening up conversations about conservation. The exhibition brings together the work of artists and community groups who have contributed to the project in different ways, in different places and at different times.
It features work by stained glass artist Marta Sienkiewicz, comic illustrator Aimee Lockwood, watercolour painter Iris Hill, filmmakers Laura O’Kane and Sinéad Hargan, the Sutherland Stitchers, and an herbarium produced by Tongue Gardening Group supported by Joanne B Kaar.
People will be inspired by this co-curated collection, understanding conservation action not just as surveying or habitat management, but as a process of creating joy and hope.
Species on the Edge is a collaboration of eight conservation organisations, working with communities across Scotland’s coasts and islands to save our rarest and most vulnerable species from extinction. Funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, Species on the Edge works hand-in-hand with communities and landowners across Scotland to bring together expertise and resources from across the conservation sector to tackle biodiversity loss.
