Material reGeneration [reGen] 2024

Material reGeneration [reGen] was an arts-led research project funded by an East London Impact Scholars Award (ELISA) to explore relationships between sustainability, digital technologies and local communities. The reGen team explored hyperlocal waste-streams and developed new biomaterial composites made with reprocessed waste, including oyster shell ceramics. Material samples were then showcased at MATERIALISE. Led by Artist Marie-Louise Jones and Creative Technologist Paul Nichols, the project engaged with UEL academics, student researchers, local businesses and communities of East London
