Past Events

2007 - 2009

In 2007, Cape Farewell was invited to help imagine how the Eden environment could be brought to life in new, art led and climate focussed ways. Since then, site wide sound and visual installations have been presented at Eden, offering surprising encounters and unusual experiences to the visitor. Comic and musical performances have been given in the Mediterranean Biome and an exhibition about the Cape Farewell expeditions has been shown in the Core Building. Cape Farewell aims to stimulate fresh thinking about our future and its work is central to the Eden Project’s Climate Change programmes.

Peter Hampel, Eden Project

“Eden and Cape Farewell share the desire to communicate the need for a more sympathetic relationship between humans and the planet, predicated on an understanding of the delicate balance between all that we take for granted in the name of progress and its irreversible consequences on our natural environment.”
