Remake the Media (Thursday 28th August P.M.)
"Remake the Media" is a creative response to mass media and advertising. Through informal discussions during a short walking tour we will explore the effect of advertising on public spaces and on our own lives. Returning to our workspace we will look at how people have previously responded to advertising in creative ways. Then we'll use our "Right to Reply" by painting, drawing, sticking and scrawling on advertising material found in magazines. A fun, relaxed, workshop.
Food for thought
Are you concerned about increases in the price of food? What we eat contributes up to a third of the emissions that are poisoning the planet. What can we do to reduce our impact and reduce the cost?
Why not join us for a cookery workshop, where we'll be making – and eating! - a variety of healthy, tasty and planet friendly food. Discuss and debate ideas surrounding sustainable food such as organics, local and seasonal plant based produce. The workshop will take place in an informal style creating a delicious 3 course meal for all to share. Participants need basic cooking skills as the focus of the workshop is sustainable eating habits. Restricted places, booking essential. £3 Wednesday 27th August 4pm to 9pm.
