World Ocean Day Workshop
In celebration of World Ocean Day 2023, Turner Contemporary hosted local artist Aphra Shemza in collaboration with SPACER, to run an environmental workshop with local school children, part of the Young Environmental Leaders project.
Plastic pollution, climate change and jellyfish are all linked and all along our coast. In collaboration with SPACER, a local interdisciplinary studio with an environmental and sustainability focus, and hosted by SPACER’s artist-in-residence Aphra Shemza, this art and science workshop taught children from the Young Environmental Leaders (YEL) project about the jellyfish living on our shores and gave them the opportunity to make a jellyfish mobile to take back to school.
