Dear Earth opens at London's Hayward Gallery

Kendler's work was included in the major exhibition Dear Earth: Art & Hope in a Time of Crisis at the Hayward Gallery at London's South bank Centre. For the museum-wide exhibition, Kendler created two commissioned works—both shown on the Queen Elizabeth sculpture court, overlooking the Waterloo Bridge—the 40 ft long sculpture Birds Watching III and the interactive sound piece Tell it to the Birds, re-conceived from the 2014 original of the work.

The exhibition included artists Ackroyd & Harvey, Andrea Bowers, Imani Jacqueline Brown, Agnes Denes, John Gerrard, Cristina Iglesias, Aluaiy Kaumakan, Jenny Kendler, Richard Mosse, Otobong Nkanga, Cornelia Parker, Himali Singh Soin, Hito Steyerl, Daiara Tukano and Grounded Ecotherapy and was curated by chief curator Rachel Thomas, alongside Assistant Curator Marie-Charlotte Carrier and Curatorial Assistant Debbie Meniru.

The day after the opening, which was attended by over 800 people, Kendler's work was featured in the print newspapers The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian and the Financial Times. She was also interviewed for the BBC Radio 4 podcast Inside Science.%
