A Field Hospital for Eco-Anxiety

In this immersive exhibit, check in to a Field Hospital for Eco-Anxiety in the Orangery.

Many people now say climate change and biodiversity loss are negatively affecting our mental health. Over two-thirds of people in Britain say they are worried about the changing climate. Challenging emotional responses to biodiversity loss, the climate crisis, and environmental destruction is known as eco-anxiety.

This year, take a dose of biophilia as The Edible Bus Stop® and Not here to be liked present a takeover of tropical plants and artworks to transform the Orangery in to a space where you can take in plants through your eyes, nose, and ears.

Tune in to a soothing ambient landscape created with the biosonified sounds of three plants. Biosonification registers signals from the plants to transform the plant’s signals from leaf to root into music.
