Virj Kan is a designer, engineer, media artist, and entrepreneur, based in Berkeley and Mendocino. Her work investigates new paradigms for design, through transdisciplinary research and technology development. This program will focus on her work with purple urchins and creating materials that serve as alternatives to plastics and other less environmentally friendly products currently in use. A Q&A follows the program. Wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages will be available for purchase.

This event is open to the public with a $10 suggested donation to attend.
