YU-CHEN WANG

Day of Action 4 Nov 2025

Yu-Chen Wang’s Remember Nature event on 4 November involved a series of artist-led and self-led walking routes including:

• The Nature Remembered Walk hosted Yu-Chen from the Derek Jarman Pocket Park at Manchester Art Gallery to Hulme Community Garden Centre

• The Nature Remembered Gathering at Hulme Community garden Centre

As well as a series of walks and workshops at Platt Fields and Hall initiated by Castlefield Gallery’s SPARK Network artist Phil Barton, including a walk from Platt Fields to Hulme led by local eco-activist Jane Morris.

Those on the walks were invited to explore Manchester’s ever-changing landscape: the natural environment, layers of histories, and the legacy of industry – all deeply intertwined. Together, attendees had the opportunity to discover these interconnections, to gather stories, share reflections, and spark ideas.

​

All walks led to the Nature Remembered Gathering at Hulme Community Garden Centre, where we shared delicious hot refreshments and spent a couple of hours together, informally exploring the question: “What can we do to support nature?” We invited community groups, environmental scientists, campaigners, artists and others to contribute and share their knowledge, skills and ideas in a variety of ways.
