​"Wild Suffolk" is a community exhibition project that celebrates the rich tapestry of flora and fauna in Suffolk. Using creativity as a pathway to engage without surroundings, this exhibition explores the beauty of our rural environments, our connection to the habitats and the risks it faces. Through creativity, we aim to build a greater connection to nature, raise awareness about the pressing biodiversity crisis and explore ways of supporting our environment.

This project is in collaboration with The Suffolk Wildlife Trust to help our community learn about our regional wildlife and how we can better support it to thrive.

 
Open to the public from 4th – 28th September 2024.
