We are presenting a group exhibition focused on assemblage and found objects reflecting on Climate change. This exhibition is inspired by Ngozi Mine artists, and the My Beautiful Home Project, exploring the benefits of using creative activities to stimulate new discussions on climate change, reaching out to new audiences creatives and discover new skills.
Learning from the various platform that speaks about the effects of Climate change and recycling we are inspired to make our mark by presenting this exhibition that will also promote the use of alternative material to create art an important element of creating transformational change. We are making steps that explore the contribution artists, or cultural practitioners make to adaptation engagement and the benefits this can bring to the policymakers.
