For this free event, artist Saffron Lily will be hosting an origami workshop thinking about how we perceive hope, change and agency in a world that breeds climate doom-ism.
Stine Marie Jacobsen’s film project ‘Future, Before It Happens’, devised with children from St Anne’s Catholic Primary School, will be displayed at Bluecoat as part of their Summer Programme.
The film focuses on the wellbeing of young people in relation to the climate crisis and will be accompanied by a series of free family workshops taking place on weekends during the Summer Holidays.
For this event, artist Saffron Lily will be hosting an origami workshop thinking about how we perceive hope, change and agency in a world that breeds climate doom-ism, taking inspiration from a childhood fortune-telling game, shared nostalgia and collaborative play. Join us to shape your future with origami made from compostable papers!
