NATURAL CAPITAL is a community projects course in partnership with Canada's leading environmental organization, the David Suzuki Foundation (DSF) through the Faculty of Culture + Community.

DARWIN is a ceramic multiple that was collaboratively designed and produced by students and faculty of the Illustration program. It adopts the strategy of the designer toy “platform” (or "blank"), popularized by Urban Vinyl subculture, inviting transformation through surface design.

Winning surface design submissions will receive blank forms to decorate. The competition is open to current Emily Carr students and alumni who have attended within the last four years.
