Art & sculpture inspired by British big cat encounters

With evidence from DNA and tooth marks on bones, Britain’s big cats are emerging from myth to reality. These reported pumas, black leopards & lynx are now represented in art, as people have been moved to illustrate them.

The artwork includes witnesses who did their own visual impressions, food and drink companies branding their product with the local beast, artists illustrating books, poetry & posters, and sculptors bringing these secret predators to life.

A range of these works will be displayed in the Wallsworth Centre, 12th-22nd August

The event is stewarded by witnesses of big cats in Britain.

See the art, meet the witnesses, hear about evidence!
