If the Peatlands could talk, what would they say?

The Humberhead Peatlands are one of the rarest and most threatened habitats in the UK. They are amongst the most carbon-rich ecosystems on earth, yet years of land exploitation through the extraction of peat has led to vast quantities of CO2 leaking into the atmosphere. This local landscape embodies the complexity of our interconnectedness and relationship with the natural world, and how we as humans, ultimately affect it. It is up to us to rewrite our relationship to the Peatlands. Through bio recordings from the peat-forming plants on Hadfield Moor, this work playfully gives voice to the living conversations between flora, and converts it into dancing sound and light.

ArtBomb is Doncaster's experimental arts festival & pop-up art space — designed to provoke debate across current environmental, mental health and ecological thinking — in collaboration with the Unitarian Church.
