The workshop will explore the theme of Climate Art through the medium of printmaking led by Shivangi Ladha. Climate Art is a term used for raising awareness for ecological and environmental issues. Ladha hopes to provide insight on this topic, inspire conversation, and — most importantly — platform the voices of young people. It is their futures affected by the environmental failures of humankind, and also their kindness, strength and ambition that offers a future of positive change and hope. We will be exploring this theme through the medium printmaking and by using clay, as clay is a natural material, reusable and once dries out it can be activated by adding water.

Interested and committed participants (10 – 15 years of agre+ are expected to attend the entire duration of the workshop. Art material and refreshments will be provided. The onsite workshop with limited seats will be held at KNMA Sake
