Sustainable Art Practice: Living Materials, Biomaterials, & the Future of Art Making is a workshop led by local artist Lolo Ostia. Driven by curiosity, an interest for sustainability, biological design, and audience engagement, Lolo channels inspiration into crafting immersive environments. Characterized by a playful use of scale and dimensional layers, her installations aim to transport the viewer into a place where perception, sensation, and emotion meet. RSVP for free here.
