Art can be a powerful tool in raising awareness on climate change and this will be highlighted in “Be the Change,” an upcoming workshop in Albion this weekend.
“Be the Change” workshop will be held on 11 May 2019 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm at Artists Alike, 39 Corunna St, Albion.
The upcoming event puts a retrospective look at climate change and will serve as an opportunity to conceptualise and put into practise creative works that will encourage change. Workshop media will focus on spray paints and street art as a creative outlet.
