On Thursday afternoons, we offer an After-School Club from 4-5pm, where everyone is welcome, including adults and accompanied children. In these sessions we’ll be thinking about what an art class can look like as a reflection of our commitment to environmental justice. Activities will draw on a wide range of materials and processes, from using clay to anthotype printing and even sound! 

These experimental sessions revolve around a core, iterative theme: anti/monumentality, asking what if we reorientated art from thinking about the marks we make on landscapes to the process of land making its mark on us

Our first week will be co-facilitated by Mawadah Nofal. Mawadah is an Egyptian writer, researcher and collaborative arts facilitator who explores DIY practices, space-making, and alternative forms of knowledge production. 

No sign up necessary, we’ll meet outside the Radical Ecology studio every Thursday at 4pm. We’ll be posting updates on planned activities on our social media and on this page.\

Please note the sessions may involve walking/take place in our studio which is unfortunately only accessible via stairs. If you have any accessibility requirements, please email us on the Monday in advance of the session studio@radicalecology.earth.
