Local ecology in the post-industrial era: open discussion
14 MARCH / 6 PM – 8 PM / FREE, REGISTER
Spaces are limited. If you’re unable to attend, please return your ticket at Eventbrite
In this discussion, Open Eye Gallery artists in residence, Lizzie King, Mario Popham and Dr. Joanne Tippet (Manchester University) will be in conversation about local ecology in the post-industrial era, specifically in Wigan and Leigh, where their current work has been focused.
The discussion will consider how art, science and their intertwining might allow us to come to a deeper understanding and appreciation of the our natural environment and the complex ways in which we as humans exist in relation to this planet – an intricate system of which we are a part and our only home.
Mario and Lizzie will be sharing how the research and experimentation has informed their practice over the course of their ongoing residency. Joanne meanwhile will be sharing how art plays an integral role in the resources she has been developing, in partnership with UNESCO, to stimulate discussion around sustainability among communities and people of all ages.
