SUMMARY:Beyond waste: People\, Materials and What We Leave Behind
DESCRIPTION:What happens to the things we consume once we no longer want them — and who deals with what we leave behind? \nAt the centre of this exhibition are the works of Nigerian photojournalist and sociologist Oyewole Lawal and Kenyan documentary photographer Edwin Ndeke. Bringing together projects from Lagos and Nairobi\, their collaborative storytelling shines a light on waste pickers: an often-overlooked workforce that plays an essential role in collecting\, recovering\, and recycling materials from growing urban waste streams. \nTheir photography provides the starting point for a wider conversation about our relationship with waste. Moving from the experiences captured in their images\, the programme explores the systems that produce waste and the environmental and social consequences that follow\, with a particular focus on textiles and fashion. \nTogether with researchers\, recycling practitioners and artists\, we will look at both the challenges — from textile waste and chemicals to patterns of production and consumption — and the alternatives. Through conversation\, demonstrations\, and hands-on activities\, visitors can explore recycling and circular approaches\, natural dyes\, sustainable creative practices\, and different ways of thinking about the materials we produce\, use\, and discard. \nThe evening invites us to look beyond waste itself and consider the people\, choices and systems behind it — and what we might do differently. \nBuilding on the legal and accountability conversation of 2 November\, this event shifts attention towards the people\, places and lived experiences behind environmental harm. Photography becomes an entry point for discussing climate justice in a way that is accessible beyond professional climate and legal communities. \nThe programme has three layers: \nArtist conversation: Behind the images\n– Oyewole and Edwin: Introduction to the photographers\, their work and the communities and environmental challenges documented.\nModerated conversation: From Waste to Systems\n– Connecting visual storytelling with climate justice\, environmental accountability and ethical representation.\nParticipatory element\n– Hands-on activities allow visitors to respond to the work\, contribute their perspectives or explore how visual storytelling can be used for climate engagement and advocacy. \nProgramme: \n16:00 – 16:30 Doors open\, registration and welcome \n16:30 – 17:00 Opening and introduction to artists \n17:00 – 17:30 Conversation/panel \n17:30 – 18:15 Participatory element \n18:15 – 19:00 Networking with drinks and exhibition viewing \nAbout the organisers \nThe Hague Humanity Hub is a not for profit foundation based in The Hague\, the international city of peace and justice and home to hundreds of organisations working towards a better word. We offer an open and inclusive platform for changemakers to connect both locally and internationally\, building bridges across themes\, sectors\, and disciplines. \n	Register  This link opens in a new tab
