METAMORPHOSIS
Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis is an evolving exhibition and workshop space dedicated to exploring research and practice focusing on waste and rethinking resources. Within the exhibition, you will find a range of projects that have all rethought discarded or by-products of production or that investigate localised production approaches to generate purposeful interventions. The design research and practices at the Heriot-Watt and in particular those of School of Textiles and Design (SoTD) share how we might start to change practices and behaviours.
To share insight, and knowledge and to collaborate with the local public we will also be hosting explorative workshops and talks on these themes.
