WHAT HAPPENED NEXT FOR YOU?

The initial aim of the Loving Earth Project was to help people engage more deeply with climate crisis inspired by love and without becoming overwhelmed.

It has grown  far beyond our initial hopes, with lots of exhibitions and workshops, over 500 textile art panels made, books, talks and more. The  steering group would like to learn more about how it has influenced people and inspired action , whether for panel makers or for others.   How has it been helpful?  What can we learn from it?

We’d love to hear your experience,  whether you made a panel, visited an exhibition, organised an event, read a book, or just browsed our website.  We  hope to hear from a wide variety of people, by completing our short survey , by 20th February 2024.   

If you’d like to tell us more about your story in a different format (eg video, email) , you are welcome to email us at Lovingearthproject@gmail.com .

This past Sunday, the Loving Earth Project exhibition in Westminster was featured on BBC Radio 4. Have a listen here. The segment starts at 27.15 minutes in.

An exhibition of panels from the Loving Earth Project is at Portcullis House, in London, at the request of the Speaker of the House of Commons. You can read more about this very exciting exhibition here.

Caring for what we love in the face of Environmental threats

The September 24th conversation featured Alistair McIntosh , Zarina Ahmed , Gillian McFarland, and Jon Slowe, all based in around Glasgow, together with Lindsey Fielder Cook from the Quaker United Nations Office.  More details of the speakers are on the events page of our website.
