[ecrea] 'Media Environments'-Keele University-Free Workshop-26 May 2016

MEDIA ENVIRONMENTS, a one-day event taking place at Keele University on 
26 May, will examine the role of media as a means of addressing 
contemporary and historical issues of environmentalism and ecology. 
Drawing on the practices of artists, academics and activists, via panel 
discussions, workshops and a World Café, the event will focus on the 
aesthetics and ethics of media representation, with regard to the 
environment, the sustainability of media and its place within a ‘green 
economy’, and media’s use as a tool in environmental politics and activism.

The event is FREE but places are limited, so please book a place here if 
you’d like to attend:
