Join us for our upcoming Art of Protest workshop led by Olamide Adedipe!

This two-hour interactive workshop invites participants to explore the concept of climate justice through the collaborative creation of soil art installations. The workshop explores artmaking as a platform to spark dialogue about environmental inequality, sustainable practices, and the collective responsibility to protect our planet.

Participants will be divided into three groups, with each group creating its own large soil art piece in a terrarium container. Through layering colored sand, soil, and found objects, each group will construct “cross-sections” that tell layered stories about climate injustice, resilience, and hope for a sustainable future. The workshop will conclude with all three artworks displayed together to represent a shared vision for change.

Olamide Samuel Adedipe is a Calgary-based trained visual artist, nature lover, and environmentalist whose work is dedicated to addressing the pressing issues of animal conservation, sustainability, and environmental degradation. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Olamide seeks to create art that not only reflects the beauty and diversity of nature but also raises awareness about the urgent need to protect endangered species and preserve fragile ecosystems.
