Event Details

Location: LCF Eastbank - Room 731 (Design Space)

UAL Students and staff: fed up with not being able to do anything to stop consumer behaviour that promotes ecocide and contributes to damaging mental health and general living crisis? This creative workshop is the antidote to despair!

Join LCF technicians Oliver Furlong and Alice Karsten for a fun and interractive workshop session, using posca pens and recycled bus stop advert sheets, to re-design adverts and turn them into satire, or promote positive messaging.

This workshop is for creatives who want to take action in resistance to corporate advertising. Using aikido (advertising's own methods) as an creative act of resistance against corporate malfeasance.

See, learn and share how you can do something in your local community to put out positive messaging as an antidote to harmful adverts that support toxic consumerism.

Learn how other creative activists across the world contribute to subvertising, whilst creating your own large scale artwork.

This workshop is for UAL students and staff only - places limited, book early via Eventbrite!
