VIVISTOP Mini#3: TrashArt Creative Workshop
Event Information
About this event
When plastic consumption is taking over, we are fighting back by making art.
In tribute to Mandy Barker, an award-winning artist and photographer, we are organising a global VIVITA TrashArt workshop to raise awareness about the plastic pollution in our oceans and environment.
This one day workshop will take young creators on a journey to discover the good, bad and ugly of current plastic consumption and learn what they can do to help out Mother Earth.
Inspired by Mandy Barker's work, each young creator will be creating their own TrashArt collage that will be captured by professional photographers.
All the pieces of art made during the workshop will be turned into a canvas photo. All the photos will be exhibited in a special global exhibition happening synchronously in New Zealand and 7 other countries.
VIVISTOP Mini #3 TrashArt Creative Workshop will take place on 5th of June in collaboration with the Newtown Public Library. All works of art will be presented in a photography exhibition in September 2021.
- Event is free to attend for all kids ages 9-15.
- Pre-registration is necessary as spots are limited!
