Trying to Understand Things

30 January - 28 February

Join artist Ilya Fisher at the Cornwall Museum and Art Gallery

Ilya Fisher explores issues around the climate and nature crisis. She asks why is it that we know so much, yet do so little? How can we face the future and find our way to a safer, kinder world?

Fisher’s work uses oil painting, photography and stitch, but it is the words layered into each piece that invite us to pause, reflect and imagine.

As part of this exhibition we are hosting two Climate Café Listening Circle Sessions in November 2025 and January 2026. Find out more and book here.
