Artist's statement:
Generous Waste as a methodology is the metamorphosis of urban imaginaries or narratives to reshape perceptions of ‘waste’ from inevitably to-be-discarded and to-be-forgotten materials into regenerative and generous material cultures that seek to trigger, celebrate and make accessible the capacity to create new urban imaginaries. Using the transformation of waste as an entry point to the explorations of global supply chains and how we can translate them on neighbourhood scales- it becomes a tactile, non-doctrinal and creative entry point to conversations around climate change and the decolonisation and decentralisation of neighbourhoods and other hyper proximate networks in a way that offers different levels of engagement to participants.
