Watch the recording of BioColour-project’s broad audience event ‘BioColour Splashes – Engaging with Materiality and Colour’. The event program dives into the themes of colour, materiality and biocolourants. How are the material nature of colour and its properties valued in different contexts? Are we for example expecting biodegradability and fixed colour at the same time? Welcome listen and discuss about natural dyes in a critical design perspective, their ageing and degradation in cultural heritage objects, and perspectives on sustainable colours in packagings.
