Where We Grow explores the powerful relationship between childhood, childcare and the natural world, from the Foundling Hospital's 18th-century landscape to the gardens, playgrounds and green spaces that continue to shape children's lives today. Through contemporary art, photography, archival material and historic objects, this exhibition reveals how nature can offer freedom, imagination and belonging and asks what happens when access to it is unequal. Setting histories of childhood and perspectives from young people today alongside artistic explorations of children's encounters with nature, Where We Grow invites visitors to consider what we need from the places where we play, live and learn. From 18th-century seed lists and the botanical motifs woven throughout the Museum's extraordinary Rococo Court Room Gallery, to contemporary artworks by Joy Gregory, Larry Achiampong and David Blandy, Ruth Beale, Andy Holden, Jade de Montserrat, Mark Neville, and Quentin Blake, the exhibition traces changing ideas about what children need to flourish - and who gets to decide.
