Picture By Jim Wileman - 20,000 moths to form creative call for change at COP26 in Glasgow Chloe Uden, Naomi Wright and Jenny Ayrton are pictured sewing together a small selection of the 20,000 moths, at the Buckfast Butterfly Farm, South Devon.

20,000 hand-crafted moths will be used to create an immersive display for COP26, the UN climate change conference. Made by people all over the world, the moths will represent a creative call for urgent action on climate change.

As visitors walk through the installation at Glasgow Botanic Gardens, they will hear whispers of hope and encouragement recorded by people who want their voices to be heard.

‘Moths to a Flame’ is run by the Devon-based Art and Energy Collective in partnership with Plymouth Energy Community. Participants across the South West, nationally and internationally are creating moths and recording their messages as part of the project.

Almost 7,000 moths have been made so far by groups from Devon to Australia, and people are invited to create their own moths to be part of the installation.
