Sea PET Making Family Workshop
KraalD
Sea PET making family workshop
When: Saturday 30 and Sunday 31 July 2022, 1 – 4pm
Where: Clore Learning Studio
Free and drop in at https://turnercontemporary.org/whats-on/sea-pet-making-workshop/
Join us for a weekend of re-using and re-imagining plastics in this underwater mobile-making workshop.
PET (polyethylene terephthalate) is a single-use plastic found everywhere, from fruit mesh bags to drink bottle tops. Unfortunately, these often end up in landfill or polluting our seas. We invite you to extend these plastics’ life by creating your own Sea PET mobiles. Think stinging jellyfish, luminous coral and deep ocean creatures!
The materials in this workshop are sterilised before use. For more information, please contact info@turnercontemporary.org or call 01843 233000
Suitable for children aged 5+.

SeaPET repair space
Plastics are forever.
I found myself repairing my SeaPET 2019 jellyfish mobile’s installations.
They lived for two years in my garden. It is incredible to see how minimal decay or fragmentation’s happened! I report some colour discolorations to veggie mesh and some thorned edges due to the tree branches. That’s all damage, I can say. Watch this space @turnercontemporary #theopen forthcoming @kraaldworkshop/s announcement.
Opening The Bin-2
Opening The Bin-2 Waste Safari
The 3 Waste Fractions highlighted vivid conversations among researchers and practitioners around opportunities and challenges in Waste Theory, Circular Economy and Waste Labour. Participants and conveners look at the complexities of waste practices and research, such as how to make "visible the invisible waste", how plastic rubbish get demonized/moralized and the innovative waste economies. This was a wonderful and inspiring three day conference online and graced with an unexpected third-place win for KraalD video of the Waste Safari #OTB contest.

Being Self
Being Self: The act of gardening is close to my heart, dirty nails and gut that keeps me well.
Uncommon, I did a self-photoshoot in 2020, laying in #forgetmenot flowers in between the cherry trees, thinking that my son must have a memorable image of his mother (in case of my death). I know, quite dramatic transformed like #cindysherman wearing my mother’s’ crepe de chine revised dress, laying in bloom while eaten by the bugs. The spring is here, the ground fertilised, and fruit trees wash is spayed, and I feel that I would do a second COVID-19 #stayathome photoshoot – in so watch this space while digesting the new garden site theme and waiting for the tulips to bloom in #mygarden #beingself #ecopsychology
Being Self as a theme that was identified as having a sense of being and expressing oneself whilst gardening. The garden and many nonhuman others participants are viewed as a creative space collective.

Tree Without the Cure
KraalD 2020. COVID – 19 Disease. Victorian plum tree, with the fungal disease stands in the midst of my garden without the cure. Infectious, mutilated branches are transposed and wrapped in rainbow colour plastic self-disposal. Plasticised, the virus is preserved in the dormant tree trunk for a thousand human years.

Here I am taking a refuge in Braidotti’s bio-centred egalitarianism, that challenges the prevailing standard of post-anthropocentric agenda and the assertion of advanced technologies that mean ‘man is the measure of all things’. The ‘bio-centred egalitarianism is a philosophy of affirmative becoming, which activates a nomadic subject into sustainable processes of transformation’ (Braidotti, 2006, p. 110). For the sake of clarity, I interpret Braidotti’s bio-centred egalitarianism as the way to define the eco-feminist environmental justice, a she-fox wake-up call for the planetary and equality rights for all life. I resonate well with the profound acknowledgement that ‘life’ is a slippery concept, especially animal life. Multispecies relations and interactions are central and placed along the ‘materialist lines of becoming as deep transformations of self and society’ (Braidotti, 2006, p. 109).
