Working in the Anthropocene,  5-7pm,  online event

Wetlands Unravelled challenged artists to research and think through conflicts existing on a conservation site such as London WWT. In response, they produced artworks that question our understanding of the concepts of conserva1on and the roles we assume to play within it. Speakers include Wetlands Unravelled artists and scientists from London WWT, followed by a Q&A.

Booking for this event will open on Wednesday 20 October at 9am.

Jonathan Wright and Ophelia Field, author of ‘The Kit Cat Club’ and ‘The Favourite’, present  a contemporary take on the 18th century Mutton Pie Banquet. In the 1700s, Barn Elms Manor stood on the London WWT site. It was home to publisher Jacob Tonson, founder and secretary of the Kit Cat Club, whose members were influential writers and politicians. Enjoy a vegan ‘mutton pie’ and a drink in a specially engraved toasting glass whilst Ophelia and Jonathan discuss the Kit-Cat Club Banquets and their infamous toasts to the beauties of the day.
