Book a free ticket here. \nRegenerative Art Practices in the Climate Crisis\nArtist\, gardener and writer Sean Roy Parker leads this session on making changes to the way we conduct our creative practices while remaining authentic\, collaborative and inquisitive. The talk considers the socio-economic pressures of being an eco-responsible artist\, and invites us to try radical transparency when considering materials\, labour and audiences.

He practises slow\, low-tech crafts and food preservation with consumer waste and natural abundances\, and shares extensively through labour exchange\, favours and artswaps. In his ongoing project Fermental Health he writes about and leads workshops on the lifecycle of materials\, complexities of interspecies responsibility\, and collaborative problem-solving through the lens of food justice. Roy is patiently anticipating the post-capitalist transition. \nJoin Metal New Artist Network\nA free online session presented by Metal New Artist Network.\nTo join the network and access the full free online programme\, follow the link above and fill out our short artist survey.
