Ecologies of Art and Making

Hub 67, Rothbury Rd, Hackney Wick, London 

Date: Monday, February 17th- Friday, 21st 2020, 10am-4pm

A 5-day interdisciplinary workshop with Ellie Doney and Nick Laessing for the Slade School of Fine Art

This course aims to introduce students to an expanded understanding of ecologies, introducing concepts of agency in the context of local and planetary scales of connectedness. Through engagement with making across the disciplines of art, technology and the built environment, the course will explore the connectedness of materials, practices, individuals and communities. Facilitated by PhD researchers, students will be encouraged to experimentally explore notions of ecologies through their own experiences and stories, leading to the development of a portfolio, and the hosting of a group exhibition.
