This year’s Wintersession Platform MAKE. will be offering two material workshops. The first workshop focuses on hands-on work with Paludiculture materials sourced from wet agriculture and forestry on peatlands (see PALUDIKULTUR workshop). The second workshop is all about exploring bio-based materials to develop sustainable packaging prototypes (see UNBOXING workshop).

• Please note: There are still a few seats left for both workshops. BURG art and design students can still apply here for UNBOXING and apply here for PALUDIKULTUR (final deadline for applications 24.2.2020).

Those who are not able to participate in the material workshops are welcomed to join us on 19.2.2020: Lecture by Susanne Abel (on Paludiculture) and 24.2.2020: UNBOXING Symposium (on sustainable materials for packaging design). These are public events – no registration required.

PS: For a closer look at the investigations and (wet) material culture of peatlands, enjoy the video below featuring palaeoecologist Hans Joosten from the University of Greifswald.
