The Open Materials symposium displays the outcomes of a day of hands-on workshops – of disassembling electronic waste to discuss lifecycles of electro-active materials, cooking crystals to rethink devices, and debating the informal maker communities that form around environmental sustainability based on a case study of Accra.
Moreover – four invited speakers will present practice-based and ethnographic explorations of ‘prototyping environmental sustainability’ based on approaches of community science, citizen science, biohacking and critical maker culture.
