Thursday 26 March from 6pm to 9pm
This event is a part of e-Galaxy, an installation exhibition by Suzon Fuks which runs from 6 - 26 March, 2026 at Stanley Street Gallery. Booking essential as numbers are limited.
How to safely dismantle electronic devices and make stunning jewellery with the components inside. This beginner-friendly workshop will transform and reveal the hidden world of intricate circuitry that powers our daily lives and inspire you to think about the impact of technology.
Suzon offers an active reflection on the production process of electronic devices, planned obsolescence, disparity of goods, sustainability and recycling. Every component in devices has minerals that have taken billions of years to form and that have been mined. 3 in 10 people globally do not have electricity; many of them work in those mines.
This is why it's so important to recycle our old electronics and turn them into unique jewellery you can wear everyday!
No experience is necessary. You will be guided step-by-step, and Suzon will give you plenty of tips and tricks.
