Speculative Materialism: Making for the Future
Group Exhibition
1st November - 14th December 2024
“[This exhibition] engages with the complexities of being a material maker in a world where mass consumption and contemporary materiality plagues the health of the planet.
Artists in the exhibition explore the regenerative potential of a range of materials, exploring creative solutions for environmental problems, deploying design thinking to reframe and propose solutions to problems, and utilising innovative use of transformational materials. Works in the exhibition engage with physical, imaginative, terrestrial and aquatic environments.”
Curated by Waratah Lahy and Jodie Cunningham, Craft + Design Canberra, with contributions from Christian Sirois.
