Jar in Action

Jar in Action is an ongoing project undertaking research into perceptions around sustainability, produced by FUSION.

With engagement at its core, the project asks artists, scientists and communities to create artworks, encapsulated within a jar, in response to the question: What does sustainability mean to you?

The project has been supported by libraries, schools and arts organisations to reach out to communities and provide new creative opportunities.
