In 2023 we supported Art in the Community’s project to cover the historic Whitchurch bridge with butterflies representing promises made to support sustainability in the face of climate change and other environmental factors.
The installation then moved to a venue on the Whiteknights Studio Trail in support of Reading’s Climate Festival
In 2024 we worked with Art in the Community to bring the installation to Reading’s Oracle Shopping Centre [again in support of Reading Climate Festival], East Reading Festival and Henley River and Rowing Museum
Everyone is invited to make a promise, however small, to change their behaviour in a way that will help.

In 2025 we moved a small installation of 100 butterflies to St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery to highlight Reading University’s work on climate change around International #ShowYourStipes Day.
