All students and faculty are invited to take part in the following workshops— "Polymers in Action: Art Making with Waste Plastic". They are an integral part of a graduate research project on the creative and art-making and community building possibilities that can be achieved when using recyclable plastic materials as the primary medium. The aim is to engage with important environmental issues regarding waste plastics and ethical disposal methods.

A presentation and critical discussion about environmental stewardship through art-making will allow participants to learn about similar existing artistic practices that can then be adapted into the practical workshop section. Feedback and idea sharing will be extremely valuable to this platform and both are encouraged to enrich the experience for all involved.

All artists and makers who attend these sessions may be invited to attend an interview prior to and following the events. 

An online community of socially and environmentally conscious art-makers will be established with interested attendees and all work produced during this investigation will be exhibited on a website, to be launched in March 2015. 

 

Spaces are limited to 25 per session.

For more information, please contact Vicki Clough via the Eventbrite registration page.
