Fragile with Attitude’ at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum
28th April 2022
'Fragile with Attitude' is an exhibition of thought-provoking art inspired by and exhibited at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum.
Six fantastic artists created works of art in response to 're-storying' Westonbirt's landscape through their own unique experiences.
Led by Dr Sarah Bell at the University of Exeter in collaboration with Art Shape, Zoe Partington, Natural Inclusion and Westonbirt Arboretum, the exhibition encourages affirmative understandings of disability rooted in collective experience, strength and expertise.
In April 2020, Fastershire joined the team involved with the project at a conference held at Westonbirt's Great Oak Hall to discover how the project evolved and how faster broadband helped keep the artists connected.
