Art Switch virtual conference series is returning with a fourth edition on Friday, July 9th. In this specially curated session we have invited speakers on the topic of new materials and new-uses of known materials to explore how we can shift to a more environmentally and socially friendly ethos within the arts.

Topics include: the fabric and implementation of future materials; case studies from a database featuring the life cycle assessment of materials; the structural adaptation of new research and material guidelines in the arts sector; and what the arts sector can learn from other fields and their materials.

This conference is part of a virtual conference series [re]Framing the Arts: A Sustainable Shift organized in collaboration with the Amsterdam School for Heritage, Memory and Material Culture at the University of Amsterdam and Nyenrode Business University.
