EXTENDED! Sirens of Sustainability
Monday 14 April - Thursday 12 June
Atrium
A co-produced exhibition of outcomes from arts workshops delivered to schools, colleges, community groups and festivals over the past year in response to the University of Worcester's International Centre for the Picture Book in Society’s SEA CHANGE project.
Using the SEA CHANGE publication and exhibition archive, the arts workshops have centred around ocean and river literacy - based on the United Nations SDG 14 Life Below Water - producing protest posters featuring Sirens of Sustainability.
In addition to the co-produced artworks, there is a focus upon local and international environmental activists and their activities to protect our rivers, Ocean and environment.
