Remember Nature is a group exhibition at Castlefield Gallery New Art Spaces Chester featuring artists from the UK and beyond, inspired by the visionary initiative of the same name instigated by artist Gustav Metzger in 2015. Now observed worldwide each year on November 4th, the day invites creatives across disciplines to respond to the climate crisis with care and imagination.

This exhibition brings together a diverse range of artists whose practices reflect on and respond to the natural world, its fragility, and our relationship with it. The works offer gentle, thoughtful, and confrontational interpretations, emphasising the wonder, vulnerability, and quiet resilience of nature.

Curated by artists Estelle Woolley and Jill Walker whose own practices are rooted in a slow, gentle and a tactile engagement with natural materials, the exhibition features artists whose work both complements and contrasts with these sensibilities, fostering a dialogue between different approaches and mediums.

Through this collection of reflective works, Remember Nature encourages viewers not only to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the natural world, but also to consider their role in its care and protection.
