The Rebirth
Canvas.
Turning environmental responsibility into collaborative art.
From waste
to identity.
The Rebirth Canvas brought 32 students, seven teachers and a team of facilitators together to transform environmental waste into a collaborative artwork.
Through environmental learning, a supervised waste collection drive and a shared art-making session, children explored the connections between individual action and collective responsibility.
A painted tree became the foundation of the work. Collected plastics formed its textured bark; the children’s handprints became its leaves. The finished work remained in the community.
Many hands.
One shared work.
From the first conversation to the finished piece.
The finished work
The Rebirth Canvas
Collected plastics, paint and handprints come together as a record of the day’s collaboration.
