Wild

This exhibition explores our relationship with the natural world and looks at how people across the globe are creating, rebuilding and repairing connections with nature.

Will going ‘wild’ help us to tackle the climate and biodiversity crisis? Can ‘wildness’ flourish within a city like Exeter? How do we care for things we can’t see?

Wild will challenge the way we think about nature, whisking you to wild places across the world. Find out how communities, researchers and activists are shaping their environments and looking to ‘wild’ for a more positive future.

Featuring audio, film and interactive elements alongside natural history collections and artworks, the exhibition prompts you to notice the biodiversity and heritage of the featured environments while questioning our relationship with the natural world.

RAMM’s artist commission

Devon-based artist Sarah Gillespie RWA has closely observed a tiger moth specimen in RAMM’s collection. She has created beautiful large-scale drawings that highlight its recent, rapid population decline. These new artworks will be on display in Wild.
