Exhibitions of groups of panels have been held in many places around Britain and beyond . The Loving Earth Project was hailed (by list.co.uk) as “one of the best cultural events in Scotland for COP26”. Although the main project has now been laid down, some panels are still available on loan – see below.
Since 2021 we have held exhibitions of Loving Earth textile panels in a wide variety of venues ranging from museums and galleries, Quaker meeting houses, church buildings and libraries . Here are videos introducing some of the exhibitions, at in Glasgow, for COP26, the Westminster Parliament , and Friends House, London.
Panels have also travelled to Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany and the USA . They have been used in exhibitions and workshops helping people imagine what they can do to address and adapt to the climate and nature emergency, whether as individuals or as organisational or government policy.
Groups of panels are now in the care of the following
organisations which will make them available on loan for exhibitions and events:- Cheltenham Quaker Meeting
- Glasgow Quaker Meeting
- The Museum of Animals
- Quakers in Devon and Cornwall
- Wandsworth Quaker Meeting (London)
- The Westhill Endowment (Birmingham)
Please contact them directly, or in case of difficult contact quakerartsuk@gmail.com.
You’re welcome to use some of the Loving Earth resources in any exhibitions or workshops that you hold to help viewers understand the Loving Earth project and engage with its questions. A participative element can also help visitors to engage with the questions more deeply. Don’t forget to advertise widely and ingood time!
