CoLab Birmingham
CoLab Birmingham aims to enable young people to understand and address the complex issues surrounding the climate crisis. CoLab’s aim is to provide durability and lasting impact to the climate crises in individuals and in the Holyhead School.
Throughout the workshop sessions, students use sound, painting and sculpture to explore eco-anxiety and autonomy. During the sessions, students will experiment with environments to respond to themes such as nature and landscape preservation and food and water scarcity. The project will conclude with a printmaking experiment for students to create their own climate protest posters, inspired by the 1968-1971 Camden poster workshop.
