Hackney Gallery’s new exhibition celebrates National Tree Week

Running from 25 November to 8 December, the exhibition features the work of 19 photographers from across the UK and Europe, offering a creative exploration of humanity’s relationship with trees.

Curated by Jacqueline Ennis-Cole, a UK-based art-photographer, poet and curator, the exhibition uses photography as a storytelling medium to highlight the crucial role trees play in sustaining life.

Ennis-Cole describes forests and trees as “our more-than-human relatives,” emphasising their role as vital to planetary balance and symbols of peace amidst global unrest.

National Tree Week

The exhibition aligns with the goals of National Tree Week, an initiative encouraging tree planting and conservation efforts.

The showcased works aim to inspire reflection on ecological sustainability, peacemaking, and the deep interconnectedness between humans and trees.
