Forest of Imagination 2024’s theme is Biodiversity Ring: A Million Small Acts
14 Jun 2024
Now entering our eleventh year, Forest of Imagination is taking over The Holburne Museum and Gardens, from 26 – 30 June 2024. This year’s theme will highlight a vibrant ‘Ring of Biodiversity’ through stories and creative interventions. Taking advantage of the diverse landscapes and habitats, Forest of Imagination’s physical presence will reinforce the green setting of the Museum Gardens leading into Sydney Gardens and the wider city landscapes.
Created from multiple interventions, large and small, the Ring of Biodiversity presents inspiring little steps to make it easier to address the climate and ecological emergencies.
The Ring of Biodiversity will consist of soundscapes, lights, and small interventions made by artists, school children, community groups, and visitors to the site. In addition, the circle will link a sequence of larger interventions that are more interactive such as the Climate Spa and the An-Ki Theatre. Participants will contribute, share, visit, eat, and make ideas come to life.
Forest of Imagination is open to all and actively inclusive. We invite children, families and people of all ages to explore, make and learn in a creative, intuitive and imaginative way. Forest of Imagination is a partnership between Grant Associates, Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, House of Imagination, and Bath Spa University, alongside the wider creative, cultural, and educational community of Bath. Each year we re-imagine a familiar space to highlight the importance of nature and imagination in all our lives. Everyone is welcome, come along and play!
