Plastic waste poses a significant challenge to our environment, and our workshop series is dedicated to sustainability. As part of this, we will explore the exhibition of Rohini Devasher, Deutsche Bank's “Artist of the Year” for 2024. We’ll discuss how to use solar energy effectively to conserve resources and examine everyday items that others might discard. By repurposing these materials, we will create our own planetary systems. Participants are encouraged to bring items from home, such as empty toilet paper rolls or yogurt containers, that would otherwise be thrown away. Let’s see if we can transform these discards into something out of this world!

Our solar system consists of eight planets that orbit the Sun – one of them is Earth. But what does our Earth look like from space? And what can we discover about the Sun and the Moon if we study them closely? The artist Rohini Devasher, an amateur astronomer herself, has worked at an observatory in South India, which has been collecting drawings and photographs of the Sun for over 100 years. Her exhibition tells the story of the fascinating event of a solar eclipse, a cosmic interplay between the Sun, the Moon, and the Earth, and the significance of light. Together, we will look at her works and create our own solar system – with small and large, colorful and monochrome planets.
