Eco Art Lab: Ecological Printing Workshop with Özlem Gök

Date: Sunday, June 22

Time: 13.00–16.00

Venue: Eco Art Lab

Led by vegan artist and academic Özlem Gök, the workshop offers an ethical and aesthetic perspective on bird deaths that remain invisible in urban environments. Human-centered interventions such as light, sound, and air pollution, along with rapid urbanization, have contributed to the disappearance of bird species in cities, leaving behind a silence that often goes unnoticed. Inspired by Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962), participants are invited to reconsider their relationship with lost fauna as they create bird forms using the monotype technique.
