Led by Land: Nature Connectedness Through the Lens of Non-invasive Environmental Collaborations

Abstract

‘Led by Land’ is a unique exhibition proposal that contributes to conversations surrounding the topic of the land-human relationship and ecological thinking. This exhibition critically analyses nine artworks, underpinned by a well-researched ecological and nature-connected framework. These artworks, in contrast to traditional land art, aim to highlight the non-invasive ways that artists can collaborate with natural environments. Overall, this exhibition will educate an urban audience of the importance of nature-connection and the inherent impact humans have on the environment, seeking to inspire new artists to work non-invasively in nature.
