Chris Aldhous: “Ghosts is about raising a creative army for conservation – and finding the most powerful way to tell the story of what has happened in the past, so that people can understand and chose to get involved in preventing extinctions in the future.”

‘Stolen jewels’
Wildlife trafficking is the third most valuable illicit trade in the world and birds the most commonly smuggled. The wild bird trade is implicated in the status of several endangered species. Most are smuggled in unsuitable conditions, including hidden in clothing. The survival rate is not high.

GHOSTS OF GONE BIRDS will be presenting its latest show at the Rochelle School, Arnold Circus, Shoreditch, London E2 7ES from Nov.2 – 23rd featuring over 200 new works from artists as diverse as Sir Peter Blake, Ralph Steadman, Charming Baker, Rob Ryan and Kai & Sunny. The show is dedicated to breathing artistic life back into the bird species we have lost.
We are raising a creative army for conservation through a series of multimedia exhibitions and events that will breathe artistic life back into extinct birds species. Ghosts Of Gone Birds celebrates their diversity thru paintings & sculpture, talks & poetry, installations & live music. Plus a series of Ghosts stories that shed light on front line conservation work being done around the world to prevent any more birds migrating to gone status.
