Remember Nature 2025

Join Ikon Youth Programme and artist Harun Morrison for an evening of creative activity, including banner-making, in celebration of Remember Nature 2025, an ambitious new staging of the visionary art project initiated in 2015 by the celebrated artist Gustav Metzger (1926-2017).

Attendees will take part in a nationwide day of art action to stand up for nature, marking the 10th anniversary of Remember Nature by realising Metzger’s hope and belief in the future power of art to halt universal extinction.

Remember Nature 2025 is curated with Metzger’s original collaborators Jo Joelson and Andrea Gregson and 16 regional art partners across England: Art Gene, Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art, CAST, Castlefield Gallery, De La Warr Pavilion, FACT, Hatton Gallery, Hauser & Wirth, Homotopia, Ikon Gallery, KARST, Kestle Barton, Kettle’s Yard, MIMA, Serpentine Galleries, Tate Modern, Turner Contemporary.
Lead artists are commissioned for each region and will work with the host partners and local communities and groups to create artistic and public interventions to “remember nature”.
