The world’s most interactive public art exhibition for Wildlife Conservation
Gillie and Marc (renowned duo who have dedicated their creative endeavours to raising awareness and celebrating the beauty of wildlife) in collaboration with the esteemed London Bridge City and ZSL (the Zoological Society of London) are thrilled to present the immersive exhibition, "A Wild Life For Wildlife," in the heart of London. This captivating exhibition will bring together art, conservation, and public engagement to raise awareness and support for endangered species.
The natural world, with its animals, forests, and lakes, provides us with unparalleled joy and wonder. However, the current reality of the 6th mass extinction is alarming, as more and more beautiful creatures face the threat of extinction, primarily due to human activities. "A Wild Life For Wildlife" aims to shine a spotlight on these critical issues and empower individuals to take action before it's too late.
Set against the stunning backdrop of London Bridge City, this exhibition will transform the heart of the city into a haven for wildlife conservation, reaching over 10 million visitors annually.
The exhibition invites the public to become an integral part of the journey with endangered animals through interactive sculptures and engaging experiences. By taking a seat on a tandem bike, joining a game of chess, or throwing a ball in a pool, visitors can connect with the stories of these imperilled species. Each sculpture is accompanied by QR codes that transport viewers to important information about the animals' lives, needs, and threats, providing a deeper understanding of the urgent need for their conservation.
The exhibition is part of the broader 'Love The Last' project, a social movement driven by public art to raise awareness, funds, and support for endangered animals worldwide. It serves as a beacon of hope and a call to action, inspiring people to share the stories of these endangered species through the hashtag #LoveTheLast.
The sculptures featured in "A Wild Life For Wildlife" include:
- "The White Rhino was thinking ahead with Dogman's encouragement"
- "The Giant Tortoise and Rabbitwoman loved the sound of the wild"
- "The Masai Giraffe would stick his neck out with Rabbitwoman's help"
- "The African Elephant never forgot what he learned, and neither did Rabbitwoman"
- "The Eastern Lowland Gorilla only shoots photos with Dogman"
- “The Polar Bear and Dogman wanted everyone to stay cool"
- "The Grevy's Zebra was on the move to safer ground with Rabbitwoman and Dogman"
In addition, two new sculptures will be unveiled in November to complete the sculpture trail that will make its way throughout the London Bridge City precinct. The exhibit will be in place until 2024.
