We (Adapt) put on an environmental exhibition like no other! With ever-more pressing news about climate change hitting our headlines on a daily basis, and a surge of inspiring action taking the country by storm, we invited people to learn about, and act on global warming through our huge specially designed space. 'Sadness is a no gO-zone' featured our work (Adapt) and 50 specially selected artists. Visitors came to the gallery to tackle the biggest issues facing the planet, from energy to travel to wilding through curated actions. At the exhibition we partnered with Ecosia to launch a challenge to plant 5000 trees, download Ecosia through our special link to join the challenge.
The exhibition focused on happiness and motivation, there were laughs, engaging visual art and some audience participation, alongside a program of events and a fundraising shop. Follow us on instagram to keep in the loop with future events.
Every artist was selected by us and asked to respond to one of our chosen phrases, see the list of contributors below. There were are also special pieces by friends of Adapt.
