Purpose & Structure

Charitable Purpose

Conduct community engagement research focused on raising awareness about waste minimisation through accessible, creative approaches. This includes developing projects that explore sustainability through the lens of art and conceptual thinking—using artistic practices to question, reinterpret, and reimagine waste. Contribute to building systems that maximise the potential of reusing existing materials, tools, and objects, while minimising waste generation. Coordinate events that showcase research outcomes and community-created works made from repurposed or discarded materials, sparking dialogue around consumption habits, environmental responsibility, and the cultural meaning of waste. The aim is to foster a community that sees waste not only as a problem but also as a medium for insight, creativity, and collective transformation.
