‘THE ALCHEMIST’ SELECTED BY THE ORGANISERS TO BE EXHIBITED IN THE BLUE ZONE AT COP26

‘The Alchemist’ from the collection entitled ‘Anima Mundi’ was selected by the conference organisers to be exhibited on the world’s biggest stage in the Blue Zone of the SEC in Glasgow for the COP26 conference. The work was displayed with Explorers Against Extinction art exhibit which was chosen as one of only fifteen exhibits out of thousands of initial applicants to be presented to the delegates.

The Blue Zone was for those registered with the UN and tasked with coordinating the global response to the threat of climate change – the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The Blue Zone hosted national delegations, United Nations and related organisations & agencies, the media and not-for-profit observer organisations. Delegates met in the Blue Zone for both formal negotiations and informal consultations. The UNFCCC also hosted a range of events, including technical briefings, to support the negotiations process.

The Green Zone was for the general public. Here there was a wide range of events, including workshops, art exhibitions and installations, as well as presentations, demonstrations of technology and musical performances for everyone to attend.
