TOMORROW! 🌍

At Quaker Meeting House, Peterborough, we are delighted be showing 'Ackroyd & Harvey: The Art of Activism' with , tomorrow (Sat 22nd Nov )!

'Ackroyd & Harvey: The Art of Activism' is an inspiring documentary by award-winning filmmaker, Fiona Cunningham-Reid, sharing an intimate portrait of internationally acclaimed artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who work at the intersection of art, activism, biology and ecology.

With a focus on climate and ecological crisis, Ackroyd & Harvey's work has become a rallying cry for the environmental movement, winning them international acclaim and a global following. With some of their pieces standing in prestigious galleries and others embedded in nature, their work not only references the natural world, but also regularly employs it. The film offers singular access into the lives, work and partnership of the artists, and their quest to shake humanity into action on climate catastrophe – whatever the personal cost – including their collaboration with Extinction Rebellion, and co-founding the movement Culture Declares Emergency.

Meticulous and thoughtful, this careful study of a lifelong creative partnership asks questions of where art and hope – and love – stand in our very uncertain world.

🎟WHEN? Saturday 22nd November, 6pm
WHERE? Quaker Meeting House, Peterborough, PE3 6AB
