​
The main exhibition will be held at The Cube, London from the 1st of December 2016 to the 14th of March 2017 and will host an extraordinary range of FREE lectures and workshops from artists, scientists and anthropologists. Join in and experiment with making cyanotype prints, clay maps and your own terrarium ecosystems and learn about wide range of subjects relating to the dynamic relationship between making, creativity, problem solving and environment from experts in archeobiology, AI, neuroscience, Arctic ecosystems, polar climates, the formation of clay, maker communities and the science of ice crystals!

Tracing Wastelands
at The Depot, Clapton 17-20/11/16
Tracing Watelands invited Making in Transit to take part in a collaborative exhibtion called Tracing Wastelands. The first in a series of exhibitions, Tracing Wastlands focuses on the materiality of waste and how human agency plays a vital role in this transition. Teasing out strands of the same chord, the exhibiting artists have investigated scientific, social and cultural perspectives, evolving a range of methodologies to what the concept of waste means, and our responsibility towards it.
Tracing Wastelands is an exhibition of work, evolved through collaboration between MA Art and Science, Central Saint Martins, and the Government Office for Science.

The Making in Transit exhibition
@ The Cube, London 01/12/16 - 24/03/17
Making in Transit is an exhibition of works created by artist Jennifer Crouch in response to her voyage to the remote archipelago of Svalbard as member of the Arctic Circle Residency, Autumn expedition, 2016. Making in Transit is an exploration of mapping, navigation and our relationships to land and sea. It contemplates the absurdity of the sublime - the feeling of insignificance amidst the sheer enormity of the Arctic landscape; the terror of a beautiful, relentless landscape which resulting from our carelessness and abundance is vulnerable.
​
The collection includes carved wooden maps (inspired by Inuit cartography originating from Eastern Greenland) that depict the Svalbard coastlines, as well as: drawings, paintings, textile pieces, documents, field notes and video pieces. Making in Transit will host a series of free events which unpack many different subjects relating to making, mapping and how we respond to our environment.
