Shrinking Space

We’re a non-profit environmental arts curatorial and commissioning collective, with a focus on creative action based in the UK. We develop multidisciplinary projects to foster collaboration between science and arts and culture. We are driven by a commitment to promoting the distribution of knowledge, critical thinking and lifelong learning. Our practice is centered on cross sector collaboration and arts led research into a range of scientific disciplines and environmental issues and their socio-political impacts. We produce and curate work across multiple art forms and in a variety of settings including: site responsive works, exhibitions, installations and festivals. We also support researchers and universities to co-design arts led learning and public engagement programmes in collaboration with their local communities. We have created, commissioned and produced artworks and events with cultural and scientific partners including: Somerset House, Greenpeace UK, Cape Farewell, King’s College London, Kew Gardens (Wakehurst), New Scientist, NASA Goddard Centre, The British Science Festival, Kew Gardens and Brighton Digital Festival.
