City Walk and The Beach, JBR Unveil Sustainability Awareness Installations.
Visitors can immerse in the realm of sustainability at City Walk and The Beach, JBR, through four captivating new installations crafted by students in Dubai. These sculptures mark the culmination of a six-month CSR initiative by Merex Investment, aimed at nurturing environmental consciousness among youth.
Crafted by students from prestigious educational institutions, including Dubai International Academy Emirates Hills and RAFFLES International School, these installations are designed to spark dialogue and action on sustainable solutions aligned with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Led by sustainability artist Christine Iris Wilson, students engaged in a comprehensive program covering topics like the circular economy, water pollution, and fast fashion. Through practical workshops, they repurposed 250 kilograms of waste material, including plastic bottle caps and textile waste, into thought-provoking installations.
Here’s a glimpse of the installations:
