Talk Content
During the 2021 pandemic lockdown, Zarina discovered two important things – she was a gifted amateur gardener and a prolific accumulator of rubbish from her home shopping activities.
Two years earlier at the HF Arts Festival in London, she presented her photography project, After the Rain, which discussed recycling waste export issues and its impact on her seaside home in Lumut and Pangkor Island. She thought we had made great progress towards sustainability, until the Covid19 pandemic hit.
She was forced to turn the lens onto her shrunken life in London during the travel restriction period. Between contemplations, Zarina planted and harvested homegrown flowers throughout spring and summer. Then she photographed them in upcycled bottles against packaging wastes, acknowledging the fact that she was both the creator and destroyer of her own environment.
This talk will highlight:
• How her photography observations compelled her to take action by using her design skills to explore sustainable solutions and 'close the loop' by applying reusable philosophy and using print-on-demand services.
• How Zarina constructed a story narrative in the form of self-published magazines to add value to her work, which led to collaborations with her local London council and with like-minded organisations.
There will be an opportunity for a Q&A after the presentation.
