We Feed The UK

Grown by The Gaia Foundation, presented at Loading Bay in partnership with Impressions Gallery.

Location:

Loading Bay, 1 Duke Street, Bradford BD1 3QR

We Feed The UK is a major touring exhibition and national campaign that connects award-winning photographers and poets with some of the UK’s most inspiring nature-friendly food producers.

Through photography and poetry, We Feed the UK celebrates the soil sisters, seed savers and food growers creating positive alternatives to corporate food production. Their stories reveal the power of food, farming and community to adapt to climate change, bring back biodiversity and champion social justice.

Especially curated for Bradford, this iteration of the exhibition journeys from women farmers in the Scottish Highlands and Black-led collectives growing in the heart of London, to soil restoration in Northumberland, and young people leading regeneration projects in the Brecon Beacons, Wales.

Across the exhibition you’ll encounter powerful images and new writing that reconnect us with food as the web of life — where climate, culture, ecology, wellbeing and justice are all entwined.

 

Featuring
