Fox: Inconvenient bodies and other sense-pectives (2025)

An interactive exhibition, inspired by the ‘pesky’ Fox which explores other ways of sensing nature…

In England, how (and who) takes care of nature is usually rooted in the perspective of a ‘normative’ body. Knowledge from disabled bodies or bodies that sense differently are often overlooked or not taken seriously. Further still, language around what nature should be and how it should look can sometimes reinforce harmful and ableist attitudes. As attitudes to disability and sensory difference become more hostile in the UK, it’s more important than ever to surface these hidden and suppressed perspectives. My encounters with the fox, an animal that is often regarded as out-of-place, pesky and inconvenient have offered a helpful and unique lens to think through some of these ideas and understand how the practice of conservation could be enhanced and diversified by including other sensory perspectives. Developed with precious input from London National Park City Rangers, come and explore what we’ve found in an exploratory and interactive exhibition.
