Fragile with Attitude’ at Westonbirt, The National Arboretum
'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.
