Igniting Conservation Through Art

Igniting Conservation Through Art
Wednesday 3rd March 2021 at 7.30PM Via Zoom and FB Live.

Benjamin Von Wong
Benjamin Von Wong's work lies at the intersection of fantasy and photography and combines everyday objects with shocking statistics. It has attracted the attention of corporations, like Starbucks, Dell, and Nike and has generated over 100 million views for causes like ocean plastics, electronic waste, and fashion pollution. In 2019 he was awarded a Guinness world record for "Strawpocalypse," the largest supported art installation made from plastic drinking straws. Most recently, he was named one of Adweek's 11 content branded masterminds. He is also the host of the Impact Everywhere Podcast. The workshop will engage in the power of art and storytelling to ignite conversation, the elements that make something spread on the internet, and what it takes to bring large-scale collaborations together.
