Skate of nature

This unique, temporary, UV art installation was curated by INSTAR as a leading commission for Light Night 2020 in Nottingham city centre. This temporary skate park, pasted with a mosaic of twenty unique INSTAR posters reflecting the outcomes of the State of Nature report 2019, was symbolic of the power that young people have in influencing cultural and positive change of our urban centres, for people as well as for wildlife.

A prowling, dazzling image of a large green UV wolf, the universal symbol of wilderness, is a visual reference to a quote by Aldo Leopold, the father of wildlife ecology, who called for an ethical, caring relationship between people and nature. In partnership with Skate Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust.
