Apocalypse Remix Workshops

Don't wait for the future to happen, come along to our Apocalypse Remix workshops with Edek Thompson and invent it!

Edek is an artist who is looking at how nature will adapt to the future in an era of accelerated climate change but with a large dose of humour.

Come and join us for one, several or even all of our workshops to work with Ed as he assembles his coterie of creatures; adaptations and mutations all spliced with the funny gene.

No art experience needed . . . 

 

Edek Thompson: Apocalypse Remix

Edek Thompson is an artist with one foot in the apocalypse, well actually several feet, mostly webbed and at the end of super long legs to deal with the rising tides of climate change. His work is a humorous take on a serious subject. Ed invites you to join him at BasementArtsProject and imagine a post-climate change environment in which humans and animals have evolved to deal with their new circumstances.
