Join us for a hands-on mask-making workshop led by artist, sustainability manager, and CCNY Urban Sustainability alumna Abby Manwiller, where we will transform recyclables into wearable art. Using metal, plastic, and paper, participants will create expressive masks while exploring how waste connects to climate justice, environmental justice, and waste equity. Through creative play and conversation, we’ll reflect on who carries the burdens of consumption and disposal—and transform everyday discards into bold statements about the systems behind what we throw away.

No art experience needed—materials + light refreshments provided! Plus, we’ll have a photobooth so you can pose and show off your mask creations.

Presented in collaboration with Sustainable CCNY, NYPIRG-CCNY, and the Sustainability in the Urban Environment Graduate Programs at CCNY. This event is supported by The NYC Climate Justice Hub, Social Practice CUNY, and the UKAI Initiative by Little Manila Queens Bayanihan Arts.

Time: 4:00 pm EST
