Stories in the Scraps: A Junk Journal Workshop

A Junk Journal Workshop is a creative space where everyday scraps become interesting pages. You will gather from a selection of beautiful ‘found’ materials, old book pages, envelopes, maps, and miscellaneous paper, and transform them into a personal handmade journal. No experience is needed. This workshop invites playful ideas, and a way of winding down to a place of calm. You’ll leave with a one‑of‑a‑kind journal that captures your personality and interests, and a place for doodling, drawing, words and imagining.

Waiting for Superman

Although Bea Ysolda’s background is in art and design, her dissertation research ignited a fierce passion for climate justice after a classmate writing about FIFA Packs told her, ‘Nobody cares about climate change.’ That conversation fuelled Bea’s fire to expose how mainstream climate communication is broken. We are forced to carry the emotional guilt of environmental breakdown through top-down corporate marketing, while the vast majority of resource destruction is driven by a handful of monopolies at the top. Moving beyond individual blame, this talk pulls back the curtain on the hidden intersection of AI and climate change. How does the rise of artificial intelligence actively accelerate environmental collapse, and how does this new era of techno-feudalism affect you?
