Benjamin Shine
Benjamin Shine Benjamin Shine has established a multi-disciplined creative approach dedicated to challenging perceptions through original constructional ideas and craftsmanship. benjamin is most known for his tulle works, which centre on ideas of impermanence, energy and the fleeting moment – each made by pleating and manipulating the delicate material into form with an iron and often generated from a single uncut length of tulle.
Nick Cave
Nick Cave: Nick Cave creates “Soundsuits”—surreally majestic objects blending fashion and sculpture—that originated as metaphorical suits of armor in response to the Rodney King beatings and have evolved into vehicles for empowerment. Fully concealing the body, the “Soundsuits” serve as an alien second skin that obscures race, gender, and class, allowing viewers to look without bias towards the wearer’s identity. Cave regularly performs in the sculptures himself, dancing either before the public or for the camera, activating their full potential as costume, musical instrument, and living icon.
Paola Idrontino
Paola Idrontino-2018 has been declared the International Year of the Reef, and it couldn't have come at a more important time. Coral reefs are in crisis – they could disappear on our watch and potentially within in our lifetime. It's not too late – together, we can solve this crisis. But first, we need to raise awareness.
Coral reefs support half a billion people and a quarter of all marine life. However, they are on the front line of climate change. Over the last three years, we have seen the biggest coral die-off ever. We are rapidly running out of time to save them, and we won’t get a better opportunity than this year to turn things around.
