Volunteers for new Knowle West Media Centre

Call for volunteer stewards to help out at the brand spanking new Knowle West Media Centre at the beginning of March.

The exhibition, Greenhouse Britain: Losing Ground, Gaining Wisdom, is running at KWMC from March 7 until April 2 as a joint venture with Arnolfini. The exhibition is by two of America’s foremost ecological artists, The Harrisons, and comprises a large relief map of the United Kingdom onto which a series of videos is projected, showing how Britain may change if, as predicted, climate change causes sea levels to rise. One element is a video showing the local effects of tidal change on the river Avon and Bristol.

If you’re interested in helping out or would like more info, please contact Katie Taylor at katie@kwmc.org.uk or call 01179030444
