Running as part of our exhibition Community of Hope - exploring creative responses to the climate crisis - this workshop with artist Camilla Brendon (https://www.camillabrendon.com/kelp-forests/) will explore marine life and the habitats of kelp forests. Participants will be able to make their very own sea critters using all recycled materials, whilst learning all about kelp forests and the amazing creatures that call them home.
Community of Hope is a new exhibition showcasing an array of creative visual responses to the climate crisis and demonstrating the process of artists bearing witness to this extraordinary moment in human history. Developed by curators Laura Ribbons and Dominic Head as a way of building on 2021’s acclaimed online exhibition It’s What We Do Next, and furthering conversations had in the wake of COP26, it’s fitting perhaps that Community of Hope opens the day that COP27 comes to a close.
