Gleaning Project's Art Show Opening Reception
An art show celebrating the transformation of materials, of stories, and of community.
Net Works: Structures of Mutuality invites us to reconsider what we discard – materials, relationships, and even parts of ourselves – and to imagine how these might be woven back into something whole. Created from reclaimed fibers, nets, and plastics, the works transform environmental waste into a powerful reflection on connection, care, and repair.
Rooted in the belief that art is both a material and social practice, the show explores the systems that hold us: structures of exchange, interdependence, and mutual support. Each piece reflects a shared process of making, from the design by Noemia Marinho to the collaborative creation with the Gleaning Project participants, each contributing an essential thread to a larger whole. What is often overlooked or discarded becomes a site of dignity, creativity, and renewed purpose.
