Cry of the Curlew

A celebration of the Curlew through artwork, poetry, film, and sculpture along with conservation awareness banners.

Where: Museum nan Eilean, Lionacleit

When: 6 September – 26 October 2024

The Curlew is facing many challenges today. Climate Change, habitat loss, an increase in predators and changing landscapes have all added to their decline. The UK Curlew population has almost halved in the last 25 years and as the UK holds nearly 30% of the European breeding population, this is of great concern.

This exhibition by six UK artists – Barbara Murray, Paco Valera, Hester Cox, Sally Zaranko, June Gersten Roberts and Stephanie Smith – draws attention to the plight of the curlew and celebrates its gracefulness and beauty.
