When Trash Becomes Treasure w/ Katie Treggiden + Glenn Adamson
MCD Virtual Event
January 27, 2021 @ 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM
The program will begin with an introduction by the book’s forward author, renowned art critic and curator Glenn Adamson, then dive into Wasted, chronicling 30 designers who have founded their artistic and entrepreneurial practices upon principles of sustainability, waste reduction, and circular economics. Each of the featured makers and manufacturers have made reclaimed waste their primary material of construction in hopes of confronting Earth’s ever-ominous climate issues by straying away from the “take-make-waste” consumer model and rethinking the ways in which we can minimise our consumption and relative pollution.
In this talk, Treggiden will also explore the sociocultural and economic influences surrounding the book’s featured projects, as well as highlight the people and ideas reinvigorating streams of waste into both functional and decorative objects.
Q&A session to follow.
Pre-registration required – limited space available.
