Kirklees Cuckoo live stream - a withNature2020 project

Watch the giant Kirklees Cuckoo from the sky via a live stream.

Tune-in to the withNature2020 YouTube channel to see the Kirklees Cuckoo be part of a 20 hour live webcast of giant images from around the world. Starting in New Zealand & moving west, we will be on air by 5pm UK time (if you subscribe to the YouTube channel, you will get a notification).

On Saturday 22nd May people from all over the world will create images of endangered animals and plants using clothing donated by local communities. The giant images will be photographed and filmed from the sky bringing together a myriad of pictures, from Taiwan to Brazil and from USA to New Zealand.

All the countries involved will be choosing an animal or plant at risk of extinction in their local area. Here in Kirklees, an image of the endangered cuckoo will be created at Stirley Community Farm by young artists from The Children’s Art School, Holmfirth.

The 20m x 20m image will be part of the global withNature2020 project by British artist Emma K Thomas, who came up with this idea in response to the extinction crisis. It has been developed by a host of volunteers all over the world and is an official action under the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP15).

With Our Biennale, Kirklees Cultures Declares, Kirklees Museums and The Children’s Art School.
