Every year I travel to my old school in Cannington, Somerset, with Rachel Jacobs and the Future Machine. On Tuesday 9th July 2024 Future Machine, Rachel and Caroline returned to Cannington Primary School. The newly planted trees were growing and thriving and the school gave Future Machine a great welcome. Again we met with every class throughout the day. This time children from each class were invited to write poems, tree cries, based on the tradition of town criers that came to towns, ringing a bell and calling out the news to the dwellers of the town. The ‘Cannington Primary Tree Criers’ were invited to put on a costume. The rest of the class met Future Machine and took turns to turn the lever and handle. First we turned the lever to the future, the tree criers rang the bell and read out their poems. Next we went to the past and listened to the messages people had left in the past from the different places that Future Machine visits around the country. One of the messages played to Hazel Class (all the classes are named after trees) was from last year’s Hazel Class – in 2023!

Our Stories Are Wild is an exhibition which brings together artists and researchers who focus on the human-nature relationship. Many of the artworks and films reveal an emotional and spiritual connection with our environment and explore themes of care, hope and responsibility. Curated by Caroline Locke, Associate Professor of Arts, the exhibition includes over 25 artists and collaborators, many from Derbyshire and the East Midlands. The launch and celebration will take place on Monday 24 June from 18:30 to 20:30, coinciding with the University of Derby’s Nature Connections Conference 2024 ( see details here https://www.derby.ac.uk/events/latest-events/nature-connections-conference-2024/)
