Sculpture and Artist Book with Recycled Electronics Workshop

This event is a part of e-Galaxy an installation exhibition by Suzon Fuks which runs from 6 - 26 March, 2026 at Stanley Street Gallery.

Suzon offers an active reflection on the production process of electronic devices, planned obsolescence, disparity of goods, sustainability, and recycling. Every component in devices has minerals that have taken millions of years to form that have been mined. 3 in 10 people globally do NOT have electricity, many of them work in those mines.

No experience is necessary. You will be guided step by step and Suzon will give you plenty of tips and tricks!

Suitable for adults and kids (minimum 8 years old). An adult must accompany any attending kids and must pay for a separate ticket.
