About this Event
Artist Gemma Burditt discusses her research into
the future of land-based businesses in Northumberland
with Dr. Paul Cowie from the Centre for Rural Economy at Newcastle University.
The agricultural landscape of Britain shapes our soils, waters, biodiversity and is part of the nation’s emotional identity. In the light of our exit from the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and the impending climate crisis, how we use and value land is likely to change dramatically in the next decade.
Illustrator and animator Gemma Burditt has worked with 6 land-based businesses in Northumberland over a two year period to create a portrait of this changing landscape. How will these communities adapt to these pressing events and how will this affect both their relationship with the landscape and the physical nature of the land itself?
The Future Landscapes exhibition can be seen at the Gymnasium Gallery, Berwick-upon-Tweed between 18 September and 24 October - http://www.berwickvisualarts.co.uk/whats-on/2182/gemma-burditt-future-landscapes
Future Landscapes was commissioned by Maltings with support from Newcastle University’s Centre for Rural Economy and Institute for Creative Arts Practice.
