How can we counteract these tendencies with artistic means? <br> <br>In this course, we will explore 3 the Stages of Sustainability, including a workshop with DIY artist maverick Ralf Schreiber (schedule to follow) <br> <br> • re-use - an old car may stink, but it consumes much less than a new one <br> • repair - small damages don't mean to thrash it <br> • repurpose - a totally broken computer can still make a good flower pot <br> Info
