The winners of the Circular Culture Poster project, which will be 4 to 6, will be announced in June.
An initiative for a more circular Montérégie
The Committee 21 launched an awareness-raising initiative entitled Affiche ta culture pour une Montérégie Circulaire. This project aims to create a common language among companies, artists and the general public, focusing on the issues of waste materials and their true value.
This initiative is part of a desire to rethink our relationship with waste, often perceived as unnecessary, but which has an untapped economic and environmental potential.
Ania Morochnik, Director General of the Centre d'artistes Agréagat, explains the role that artists have in today’s society. ”Artists play a critical role in raising awareness and mobilizing communities on environmental, social, cultural and economic issues. They have a unique ability to turn complex ideas into engaging works that require thought and action.”
Circular art in action: works that transform waste
The finalists for this event are the following artists. The finalists will be accompanied by Committee 21 until the end of May to obtain advice on how to integrate sustainable development into their work. In June, 4 to 6 of them will be selected and their works will be showcased in a company or place in the region.
The finalists are:
Chloé Beaulac is an artistic and ecological wall project made from books and paper. In addition to its visual appearance, the wall is distinguished by its acoustic properties, creating a work that combines aesthetics and functionality.
Dana Edmonds presents functional textiles made from post-consumer and post-industrial fabrics. Her work illustrates how used materials can be turned into practical objects, while also delivering a message of awareness.
Jason Jay Gillingham proposes the creation of a chair and table using materials such as pipes, metal and reclaimed wood. Combining art, science and engineering, these disciplines are part of the philosophy of sustainable development.
The Laurence and Marion collective presents screens and lighting fixtures made of nylon fabric and aluminium fin tubes. Their project combines innovation and reuse of materials, while bringing a new approach to the creation of spaces.
Marie-Josée Gustave proposes a mural made of paper slabs accompanied by luminous sculptures. These works use paper, wood and concrete dust, and incorporate light as a central element.
Sonia Reboul presents a project of utility notebooks and pouches made from recycled textile paper, vinyl, leather and carpets. The varied textures and waste materials used make these products an example of eco-design.
Audrey Sambeau offers concrete pavements made from concrete, paint and plastic dust. This project focuses on the reuse of materials for sustainable applications.
The DEÇÀDELÀ collective presents a public space concept designed according to the principles of circular ecodesign and realized through large format 3D printing. Materials used include recycled plastic, wood dust, concrete and metal tubes.
