Reimagining a Rewilded York York Festival of Ideas 2023
Event details
This event is part of York Festival of Ideas 2023
What are your wildest imaginings for York?
This special evening will explore just that and reflect on the exciting possibilities this presents not just for nature, but for our infrastructure, health and communities. Join our inspiring panel of experts as they discuss the wild wonders already happening in York as well as what a rewilded York could look like in reality.
Our group of experts and local community leaders, chaired by Jeff Davitt from the Yorkshire Rewilding Network, will debate and answer questions such as:
- Why rewild cities?
- What’s already happening in York to make it wilder?
- What could a future rewilded York be like?
Throughout the evening, artist James McKay will capture the ideas and suggestions that are generated on canvas, co-creating a collaborative, inspiring vision of what a rewilded York could look like.
There will also be an exhibition in the space, featuring local community groups, showcasing their work and their vision for a wilder York - come early to take a look around.
There will be a fully licensed bar and you are welcome to enjoy drinks on the outdoor terrace or whilst viewing the exhibition.
Doors open at 6pm - event starts at 7pm.
