Question Title

* 1. These 4 workshops will explore how different people respond to the global extinction crisis. The work that you produce will feed into a temporary interactive artwork for Manchester Museum which will prompt members of the public to consider their own ideas and feelings about extinction.

The workshops will take place on Zoom, which is a free online conference platform. You will be sent secure password-protected links ahead of each workshop.

Places are limited, we will send you an email to confirm if you have received a place.
