The exhibition reflects the impact of the climate change debate on the practice of a broad range of contemporary artists. Its place and resonance with their practice is demonstrated throughout the show, interconnecting ‘issue’ and ‘art’ in beautiful, powerful and thought-provoking ways.

Highlights include works by Mona Hatoum and Marcos Lutyens, just two of the artists seeking to encourage a deeper consideration of our cultural relationship to earth’s stability.

The role of the artist in the cycle of our evolution is central to the exhibition and in the final section, the visitor will see works which present a world of vision and hope by the likes of Tracey Emin, the writer Ian McEwan and Mariele Neudecker.

This insightful exhibition shouldn’t be missed and provides the perfect opportunity to see dynamic new work by the most highly respected contemporary artists and the greatest emerging talent.

Further information and ticket prices can be found on Royal Academy website.
