Land
Commission and events programme to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Festival of Britain
Invited to convene Land, we curated a contemporary revisiting of themes from the 1951 "Land of Britain" pavilions. Our 2011 Land presented a partial portrait of rural Britain installed and performed across the brutalist Southbank Centre. Land celebrated the natural diversity of the British Isles and the wonder of its natural habitats, represented the craft and material resources which have shaped our landscape and economy and the farmers who continue as producers and conservators. It honoured the campaigning movements which have fought for and won public access to the countryside.
