An Artist’s Studio. 0+

Participants of any age will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the process of creative apprehension of the present. The workshop instructors will help them to conceive and produce artworks for an imaginary exhibition about the earth. What can we say about our planet, and how? How do we materialize our ideas via a painting or sculpture, or maybe in the form of an installation? What kind of materials will help to aptly articulate the author’s conception? And what should the work’s caption include? The workshop will provide answers to these and similar questions.

A Researcher’s Studio. Lab #1 Sustainable Constructor. 8+

Since the emergence of human life, people have impacted and changed the environment more than any other species, and continue to transform the planet. The instructors of the laboratory invite to join in a strategic game designed for those wishing to investigate an environmentally and socially responsible lifestyle and prepare sustainable models of production of everyday products, from plain yoghurt to a burger. The participants will learn how to measure the ecological footprint—an indicator demonstrating the human demand for biological resources.

The group will be offered the chance to solve a number of game tasks, such as planning the chain of production, distribution, and consumption of everyday foods like dairy desserts, take-away coffee, and chocolate bars, taking into account social and cultural problems along with economic and ecological ones. Any workshop participants are also welcome to play the role of their imaginary brand’s “green lawyers” and defend their ideas in front of an improvised panel of experts and professional community.
