We Feed The UK is now showing at Primary in Nottingham featuring Scottish Photographer Sophie Gerrard.

Saturday 7 February – Saturday 14 March

Primary, Nottingham, NG7 1NU

Launch Event: Saturday 7 February, 2–5pm

Grown by The Gaia Foundation, We Feed The UK a national storytelling campaign pairing award-winning photographers and poets with some of the UK’s most inspiring regenerative food producers. These radical collaborations are raising awareness of the food system’s potential to positively address climate change, the biodiversity crisis and social injustice. 

From February–March 2026, Primary will host a selection of work from this groundbreaking project. This iteration of the project will feature five stories from across the UK - showcasing unprecedented alliance between art and agroecology. What emerges from these encounters is unexpected. It is a gentle defiance against the dominant perspective of big agribusiness, and a joyful celebration of working with lands and waters in a way that heals people and place. 

The exhibition features the project Cultivating Equality: Women Working With Land by Sophie Gerrard in collaboration with Street Level Photoworks, with poetry by Iona Lee in collaboration with Hot Poets. The work on show is inspired by Lauriston Agroecology Farm in Scotland. 

Sons inherit Scottish farms in 85% of cases, yet over half of UK family farm workers are women. The Scottish government’s own Women in Agriculture Taskforce concluded that their contribution can be “undervalued, downplayed or simply unseen”. In Edinburgh, Lauriston Farm is run by a majority-women workers cooperative, who are drawing on the power of local people to restore a 100-acre urban growing site. 

The exhibition also includes work by Arpita Shah, Andy Pilsbury, and Ayesha Jones, alongside the poets they worked with on their respective projects.
