When we talk and think about protecting the animals we share our planet with, we tend to focus on the charismatic megafauna. These are the larger animals with popular appeal such as tigers, pandas, elephants and whales. Other animals like bugs, creepy crawlies, frogs and bats get overlooked, no matter how important they are to healthy environments and communities. Hana's residency focused on these less charismatic, often misunderstood and sometimes downright hated animals. She used drawing to bring them into the light and to bring attention to their importance and what we can do to protect them. This is something she has already begun doing here and there over the years - combining her artistic practice with a background in zoology and a love for weird and wonderful creatures - and is something she would love to spend even more time delving into. UnCharismatic Critters explored innovative and creative ways to highlight and uncover the lesser known and lesser liked animals which we share our planet with through a week-long residency. Have look at Hana's workshops, interviews and more below. How about you grab a pencil and get drawing?
