The Art Foundation presents the exhibition “Wasteland to Wonderland: Art in the Age of Sustainability” on Thursday 13 March 2025

The exhibition explores the connection between art and sustainability, inviting artists to transform waste and memories into new narratives. Through the reuse of recycled materials, the works demonstrate how creativity can bring out beauty where we often see only decay.

 Through paintings, sculptures and videos, the artists propose a new approach to the concept of “waste” and recycling, showing how art can be an agent of both aesthetic and social change.

At the heart of the exhibition is the idea that nothing is really “useless”. Traces of the past are transformed into carriers of new meanings, while the artists highlight sustainability not only as an ecological necessity but also as a creative opportunity. Each work tells a story of resilience and rebirth-material and emotional-emphasizing that, as in nature, so in art, decay can become the ground for new creation.

The public will have the opportunity to experience an interactive experience that encourages dialogue, inspires action and fosters new ways of thinking about the future of our planet. The exhibition encourages visitors to re-evaluate the value of what is often considered superfluous, offering an optimistic perspective: that through regeneration new beauty and meaning can emerge.

Beyond the aesthetic experience, “Wasteland to Wonderland” is an invitation to action. Through art, creators and visitors become part of a larger dialogue about sustainability, innovation and the need to redefine the way we perceive materials, consumption and, ultimately, our own role in a changing world.
