This exhibition, running from September 23rd to January 7th, brings together a diverse array of artists, each with their own distinctive vision and perspective. Through the works of artists such as Yinka Shonibare, Sally Mann, Mark Dion, Ingrid Pollard, Polly Morgan, and Tessa Farmer, along with the historical context provided by Victorian taxidermy and images by 19th-century luminaries like John James Audubon and Julia Margaret Cameron, the exhibition offers a thought-provoking glimpse into the past while firmly grounding it in the present.

It challenges us to think critically, appreciate the beauty of the past, and acknowledge the complexities that come with it. It is an exhibition that fosters dialogue and introspection, inviting us to engage with history through the eyes of contemporary artists.
