class=\"wp-element-caption\">Conservation is a key part of the relationship between people and the landscape, according to artist Sean Harris <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A Wales-based visual artist is using animation to raise awareness of the threats to a now rare species of bird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using art, Sean Harris, 56, brings two bird species, the curlew and the great auk, to life as part of the exhibition:<a href=\"https:\/\/senedd.wales\/visit\/exhibitions\/the-conference-of-the-birds-curlew-great-auk\/\"> The Conference of the Birds<\/a>. He takes inspiration from the farming community in North Powys, an important curlew conservation area, where he lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Art is a way for him to get people together and start conversations, says the artist who has worked with the likes of the British Museum, the Smithsonian Institution, British Council and many more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI use paper cutouts to animate, and team work is a big part of animation. And so you can have two very different people actually coming together to bring the bird to life,\u201d says the visual artist who has previously received the Creative Wales Ambassador Award in 2013.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIn the course of doing that, that\u2019s when the best conversations happen; conversations that wouldn\u2019t otherwise be had,\u201d he says. Due to this project he had 70-year-old farmers and politicians animating cranes and curlews together, he adds, which was in his words \u201csurreal\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choosing the Senedd as the location of this exhibition is a conscious choice by Harris, as he describes it as a place of debate and opposing opinions.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ll\u0177r Gruffydd, a Plaid Cymru politician and Member of Senedd says that every time he walks to the chamber there is always someone looking at the artwork.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Conference of the Birds<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition featuring Harris\u2019 work is spread across two sites. The Senedd Oriel Gallery displays objects, specimens, and little animation machines, while the exhibit in the Pierhead Futures Gallery features an immersive experience with various movements and colour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The great auk, one of the species the visitors can learn about, is now extinct. The last pair on earth had what Harris called an \u201ciconic death,&#8221; strangled by specimen hunters in 1844. \u201cWider society didn&#8217;t understand the mechanism of extinction,\u201d said Harris in a previous talk at the Senedd. He explained the great auk was the first bird species in the northern hemisphere that humankind \u201cknowingly exterminated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exhibition features the replica of the egg of the auk, while the real one, which is currently at the National Museum, was deemed too valuable to come to the Senedd. Visitors can also see an animation of the DNA sequence of the great auk that was extracted by Dr Jessica Thomas of Swansea University.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other bird, the curlew, is a currently endangered species which the artist described as an \u201cambassador for an entire ecosystem.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"A taxidermy curlew sits on a branch in a display case at the exhibition\" class=\"wp-image-66816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-770x385.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1366x683.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1920x960.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-585x293.jpg 585w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1170x585.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1500x750.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-293x147.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1400x700.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"A taxidermy curlew sits on a branch in a display case at the exhibition\" class=\"wp-image-66816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-770x385.jpg 770w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1536x768.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-2048x1024.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1366x683.jpg 1366w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1920x960.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-585x293.jpg 585w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1170x585.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1500x750.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-293x147.jpg 293w, https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/altcardiff\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/11\/CurlewInCabinet-1400x700.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The curlew faces extinction if conservation efforts fail to prevent it <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fighting to save the curlew<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The State of Nature 2023 Wales <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildlifetrusts.org\/sites\/default\/files\/2023-09\/Wales%20summary%20report.pdf\">report<\/a> is a landmark publication created by a coalition of wildlife organisations that shows the continued decline of Welsh species.

The partnership includes four key members; Game and Wildlife Conservation Trust; the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley AONB; Curlew Country; and Brecon Beacons National Park, who are working together in 12 Important Curlew Areas (ICAs) across Wales to prevent the extinction of the Curlew in Wales.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Harris says while we decided not to save the great auk, what happens to the curlew is still uncertain. \u201cWe can turn this into a story of renewal. Of a renewed relationship with the natural world,\u201d he says.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat we have to find is not the perfect solution because that doesn&#8217;t exist.
