Cape Town, South Africa

The Art and Green Chemistry Conference is being organised by Scientist Dr. John Warner from the University of Massachusetts, and Jerry Beck, an American artist and Founder of The Revolving Museum in Lowell, MA. USA.

The goal of the conference is to bring together African artists and scientists to discuss how the arts can play a key role in expanding the Green Chemistry initiative in Africa and around the world. Green Chemistry is the utilisation of a set of principles that aims to reduce or eliminate the use or generation of hazardous substances in the design, manufacture and application of chemical products. Green chemistry also seeks to unite government, academic and industrial communities by placing more emphasis on tending to environmental impacts at the earliest stage of innovation and invention.

This day-long conference hopes to be a catalyst for the development of innovative projects and programmes that could involve a diversity of artists, cultural, educational, social and political organisations to participate in the Green Chemistry movement and a better world.
