UCL Trellis + Xenia

UCL Trellis + Xenia is a collaborative arts commission with UCL Trellis, artist Sarah Carne and Xenia - a Hackney based organisation for women learning English and women who speak English.

The project uses citizen science to inspire art about the language of plastics, food waste and composting. Working together (and remotely throughout 2020) with the Xenia community the project aims to promote knowledge exchange about composting and plastic waste, explore the relationship of language and behaviour, develop new approaches to public engagement and explore mediums for science-led production of art.
