EPISODE 2 - October 2021 - Michael Pinsky - Pollution Pods
Pollution Pods, by artist and University of East London (UEL) reader, Michael Pinsky, started its tour to COP26 at UEL's Docklands campus on Friday 8 October.
The artist has worked closely with UEL students as part of an innovative intern scheme where students from across architecture, visual arts and engineering collaborate to support live cultural projects which engage people with climate change.
This is the first time Michael Pinsky has worked directly with students to manage a Pollution Pods tour, with the students constructing, adapting and maintaining the pods through their journey to COP26. The next step on the tour is Granary Square in King's Cross, London.
