TD Community Sunday: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle – Sculpture Art with Naz Rahbar

Sunday, April 4, 2021
 | 1:00 pm
 – 2:00 pm 

 | Online

 | Free

Making a sculpture out of found and recycled materials can have endless possibilities! It can also help the environment by reducing waste. Join artist Naz Rahbar in this virtual workshop and make a sculpture out of recycled objects. This activity will get us thinking about our relationship to matter and materials, similar to Mika Rottenberg in her exhibition Spaghetti Blockchain.

They completed a bachelor of Education with a Fine Arts focus at York University in 2012, as well as MFA in 2019.
