We Feed the UK
This article examines the context and aims of We Feed the UK: a multi-site series of arts projects and exhibitions, organised by the Gaia Foundation, that were exhibited at venues across the United Kingdom from February 2024 to June 2025.

This proposal can be seen as Alexander’s “cultural construction of trauma”: an act that specifically reframes a “disastrous” event as “traumatic”. However this proc…
The County with the Hole in the Middle

It proposes that the predominance of imagery showing the Lake District as an idyllic landscape of tourist consumption has led to the eclipse of other parts of the county and confusion over Cumbria as a specifically northern space. It examines how the idea of northernne…
