Ethical Colour is an on-going piece of interactive research promoting climate-positive and regenerative colour sources and processes by Colour of Saying. Ethical Colour Workshops, Talks and Material Displays are all part of this initiative, which combines circular systems and emerging colour innovations to reveal new nuances of meaning responding resolutely to social, environmental and planetary change. Ethical Colour will be featured as an interactive display and exhibition open over 4 days. Colour of Saying will present a curated exhibition featuring progressive colour makers whose work addresses key Ethical Colour themes: Waste & Reincorporation, Emissions, Pollution & Regeneration, and Biotech Solutions.
Ethical Colour implicates colour sources and processes across a range of design and architectural disciplines including surface design, interiors and architectural materials. The exhibition has a unique relationship with the history of Switchboard Studios which was originally the head offices for a large consortium of industrial spaces which produced dyes and food colourings.
