GOOD FOOD INDIA
As a commission for GOOD FOOD COP23 by ARTPORT_making waves, the artist Sam Hopkins (UK/Kenya) has developed the installation The Ministry of Plastic (touring exhibition) which stages a future in which the finite reserves of the world have been depleted. The Ministry of Plastic (touring exhibition) displays a collection of confiscated plastic objects, videos, and texts to inculcate future citizens with a sense of responsibility about how to use plastic appropriately. This performative installation represents an amnesty for citizens who have unlawfully removed plastic from the increasingly perfect system of consumption and production. Visitors to the installation should be aware that they may be required to divest themselves of any unlawful plastic which may consequently be exhibited as an example to the greater public.

EN DIÁLOGO CON LA MAR
The exhibition EN DIÁLOGO CON LA MAR gathered original photographs by Jacques-Yves Cousteau and put them into dialogue with 16 international contemporary artists who reflected on Captain Cousteau’s idea of the conservation of the ocean through video, photography, drawing, performance, painting and contemporary jazz music. Knowledge reveals and inspires, it helps us to appreciate what exists and to establish a dialogue with existence. Cousteau showed us the submarina life, discovered magic worlds in times when the science of discovering the underwater world was extremely difficult.
He helped the human being to enter mentally into unknown oceanic environments in order to reveal the beauty and fragility of the underwater world. In Mexico the exhibition attracted more than 15.000 visitors in only 4 weeks, a lot of them young people from local schools who were guided through the exhibition accompanied by short workshops regarding the conservation of nature.

(RE-) CYCLES OF PARADISE
An exhibition at the intersection of Art, Gender, and Climate Change
The exhibition (RE-) CYCLES OF PARADISE, originally commissioned by IUCN: International Union for Conservation of Nature, Global Gender and Climate Alliance, UNDP – United Nations Development Programme and several European governments for COP15 in Copenhagen, aimed to raise awareness about the interrelation of gender and climate change. The exhibition highlighted an important issue which is part of the latest social and global discussions about ecological change on our planet: That of the effects of climate change on women’s lives, and the role of women as agents of change. In nearly all societies, cultures, and religions, the woman stands for the creation of life, for nurturing and care-taking.
And yet, despite these powerful, mythical attributes, women are not only suffering most from social, cultural, and religious inequality but also from the consequences of nature thrown out of balance. This exhibition brought together artists from all over the world who wanted to make a strong statement in favor of justice and sustainability.
