DESCRIPTION:To celebrate the opening of our Living Worlds gallery\, we ha
 ve teamed up with Artist group Ultimate Holding Company to present 'we a
 re extInked' - an exhibition documenting the story of the unique arts an
 d ecology project extInked from its inception in 2009\, to the current w
 ork of the 100 ambassadors.\n\nIn the year that the world celebrated Cha
 rles Darwin’s bicentennial birthday\, Manchester based artists Ultimate 
 Holding Company embarked on a once in a lifetime artist led social exper
 iment. ExtInked is in partnership with The Marine Conservation Society\,
  Buglife (The Invertebrate Conservation Trust) and The People’s Trust fo
 r Endangered Species\, Anatomy Projects and made possible through the fi
 nancial support of MIRIAD.\n\nOne hundred drawings of endangered British
  species\, created by artist Jai Redman\, were permanently tattooed onto
  volunteers in a continuous three-day public event. The result of this u
 nique performance was an army of ambassadors for threatened and rare bir
 ds\, fish\, amphibians\, reptiles\, mammals\, plants and fungi from arou
 nd the UK. All of the 100 tattooed volunteers had a unique and life chan
 ging encounter with contemporary art and ecology\, each adopted the role
  of 'ambassador' for their species\, raising money and awareness for the
  conservation partners and promoting education about changing ecologies 
 and species loss.\n\nTo find out more please visit the Ultimate Holding 
 Company website or the extInked blog.
