Transforming Ad Space Into Art Space - 2-2:30pm at Hen & Chicken

Join Adblock Bristol for a creative workshop to explore the impact of advertising in public space, how it shapes our experience and our understanding of what’s important in life. Together we’ll ask ourselves what values are really important to us, and how public space could be used for positive change rather than corporate profit.

You’ll put this all into practice by co-creating artworks which represent your values, and you’ll go out and install your creations on the streets at the end of the workshop.

Booking required.
