The Dark Forest is an interactive project exploring the impact of man’s intervention both positive and negative on our forests. The project contrasts and connects tropical forests in Brazil to temperate ones in the UK through an artistic exchange linking artists, schools and young people in both regions.m

Forests are seen as the lungs of the world, and they are slowly diminishing and changing, but we have few tools to visualise this change, and understand our feelings towards the loss. Active Ingredient hope to reveal new forms of environmental consciousness through exploration of the people, the locations and researching the myths connected to forests. Bringing together “Saci Perere” and “Robin Hood” to join forces in helping protecting nature is now more urgent than ever.
