‘Garden to Garden’ is a new commission by acclaimed arts/science organisation Invisible Dust in partnership with the South Cliff Gardens project team.
It’s a programme that will explore the changing ways we see, hear and experience nature; all through the lens of bees.
Led by visual artist Feral Practice with the support of sound artist Rob Mackay, in collaboration with a range of scientists and researchers from across the UK, this digital programme will connect a global digital network of people exploring their own green spaces to Scarborough’s South Cliff Gardens.
Through a variety of accessible online engagement activities and a final film celebrating our bees, ‘Garden to Garden’ will bring us into creative dialogue with the insects and nature that we coexist with – and depend on.
‘Garden to Garden’ will launch a range of free artist-created digital resources and activities for children and young people aged 8-12 and their families to help inspire a new generation of nature explorers across Scarborough and worldwide.
The project is commissioned by Invisible Dust in partnership with the South Cliff Gardens National Lottery Heritage Fund Team, Scarborough Borough Council, with the support of the Wellcome Trust and Arts Council England.
Research for the project is informed by scientists at Leverhulme Centre for Anthropocene Biodiversity at University of York, Yorkshire Naturalists Union, Scarborough Field Naturalists Society, and the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
