You are invited to join MAG&M’s Collective for Environmental Art & Design (CEAD) at the first panel discussion of this new initiative.

Working at the intersection of art, design, and the environment, our panellists will discuss the ways in which they are working towards a sustainable future, the solutions they are exploring, and how you can be part of it. Through sharing the successes and learnings from their own experiences, the speakers invite us to be part of an ambitious and vital ongoing conversation. The speakers include; Dr Jenny Newell, Curator for Climate Change at the Australian Museum’s Climate Solutions Centre, Dr Lucas Ihlein, artist and Senior Lecturer in the School of Arts, English and Media, University of Wollongong, and member of the Kandos School of Cultural Adaptation (KSCA), and Floria Tosca, multi-disciplinary practitioner drawing on her experience growing up in a rural environment and her years working as a medical doctor, and a member of The Dirt Witches Scrub Collective.
