Art in its various different forms has the power to reach and, most importantly, to move people in order to provoke changes. One could almost say that it might be one of the most important mediums to change people\u2019s thinking, to make them conscious about what is going on in today\u2019s world.<\/p>\n

For that reason, The University of Leicester\u2019s Attenborough Arts Centre<\/a> will host a new exhibition by internationally acclaimed artists Lucy + Jorge Orta<\/a> at the end of January.
\nThe two artists produce artwork that \u201cquestions the social and ecological sustainability of the planet”.
\nLucy and Jorge Orta have worked in some of the world\u2019s most spectacular landscapes and have collected many impressions on various different settings for over more than twenty years which does have a massive impact on their way of thinking and shapes their art works.<\/p>\n

The creative duo creates sculpture, installation, architecture, fashion, design, and performance art in order to “generate thought-provoking approaches to social and ecological dilemmas”. <\/p>\n

On top of that, the exhibition features Symphony for Absent Wildlife which is a multi-media and multi-sensory installation commissioned and newly established by the University of Leicester.<\/p>\n
