Come and join us this evening as we celebrate the launch of We are extInked at the Manchester Museum.
This exhibition documents extInked, a unique arts and ecology project which began in 2009 as a response to species loss in the UK.
We are extInked brings together the original pen and ink drawings, documentary footage of the tattooing process and extraordinary photographic portraits of the ambassadors created on a rare 19th century camera by Anatomy Projects. The work will be shown alongside rare specimens from The Manchester Museum collections and documentation of the progress of the 100 volunteer ambassadors as they work to protect and advocate for their species.
The exhibition opens to the public on Saturday 9th
July
2011 and will be situated alongside the new 'Living Worlds' Gallery, which explores the connections between all living things, including us, and shows how we can all shape the future by the choices we make.
