How does nature make you feel? Discover ‘Wild Chorus’ and ‘Voicing Silence’ – two new artistic responses to the beauty, complexity and decline of wildlife, now on display at Manchester Museum.

Both ‘Wild Chorus’ and ‘Voicing Silence’ ask us to pause and think about our relationships with the natural world: the times when we find joy and beauty in the life around us, or the times when we feel sad and angry at the threats to wildlife. Both pieces suggest that the way forward is together, and that collectively we can work to make a difference.
