This week why don’t we get to know about hydrogen’s history? 📚

Hydrogen is the simplest element with only 1 proton & 1 electron! The word ‘hydrogen’ has Greek origins: Hydro = water, Genes = forming.

The walk is based on new ways of looking at the world with an introduction on how artists look at the world. Discover the beauty in the broken and discarded and find accidental art. The walk is approximately 60 minutes, followed time for tea and coffee at the gallery and a look at the exhibition

There's also a wide programme of fringe events, including the 'Lost and Found' exhibition of works by Rhoda Bertz at nook gallery in Kings Heath! Make sure to check out the full programme on the Sustain Midlands website.

You can expect open conversations, fresh ideas and a day designed for collaboration and action.

Join us at the Sustain Midlands UnConference and co-create the future of sustainability. 🌍

🗓 Thursday 30th October, 9:00 to 17:00
