Speculative Materialism: Making for the Future

Speculative Materialism: Making for the Future engages with the complexities of being a material maker in a world where mass consumption and contemporary materiality plagues the health of the planet.
 

Artists in the exhibition explored the regenerative potential of a range of materials, exploring creative solutions for environmental problems, deploying design thinking to reframe and propose solutions to problems, and utilising innovative use of transformational materials.
 

Curated by Waratah Lahy and Jodie Cunningham, Craft + Design Canberra, with contributions from Christian Sirois.
