The project
For Britain to be net carbon neutral by 2050, we’re going to need more woodland. About 70 per cent more, an area 15 times the size of the Peak District. Our landscape would be completely transformed. But how would this change affect us?
The immersive exhibition in Futurecade at Millennium Gallery, by artist Rachael Kidd in partnership with landscape archaeologist Bob Johnston, explores ways artists and academics can help us to imagine this transformation. And prepare for it.
The film
Gardom’s Edge Storymap
To accompany the artworks, Rachael and Bob have created an interactive ‘storymap’ of Gardom’s Edge in the Peak District.
