Can object design advance environmental sustainability and social justice?
Local designers Brent Comber, Christa Clay, Josiah Peters and Kaly Ryan have each built design practices that place principles of sustainable design at the centre of their production. The conversation will explore the diverse ways that these designers approach the use of natural materials, their methods of production, and the environmental and social impact possible with the adoption of regenerative design practices.
Tickets include admission to the Museum’s galleries before the event.
About the exhibition:
The idea for Reclaim + Repair: The Mahogany Project was born out of a desire to honour the reclaimed mahogany and the places from which it originated. The Mahogany Project hosts a diverse group of 31 emerging and seasoned local designers and makers who created 22 objects made from vintage mahogany. The exhibition features a wide array of design objects from furniture, lighting and household objects to jewelry and much more!
