Everybody Arts is thrilled to invite you to the opening event for Earth, A Cosmic Spectacle. Featuring work made by artist Louise Beer and local community members, the exhibition connects visitors emotionally to Earth’s history and climate crisis.

Louise works closely with scientists to explore how understanding the universe’s 13.8-billion-year history can deepen our awareness of the cosmic significance  of the climate crisis. Through digitally manipulating photography, she combines images of Earth and space to juxtapose the long, slow development of life, the fleeting nature of a lifetime, and the accelerating pace of the climate crisis. Accompanied by a soundscape of birdsong and cosmic recordings, Louise places Earth’s natural sounds from the local environment within a universal framework.
