AKO Zone Talk and Workshopping With Jeanine Clarkin

A small workshop and informal introduction to up-cycling and what it means to be a conscious consumer.

With some examples of Jeanine’s previous works and a Q and A session. Clarkin’s interest in sustainability stemmed from the relationship between the NZ woollen blanket, as a symbol of colonization and currency. As introduced in its broadest sense Clarkin feels this symbol shows how Maori have had the capacity to endure and maintain a process of Kaitiakitanga (environmental guardianship) over time.
