Millennium Fellowship Project: Art of Sustainability
My social impact initiative focuses on addressing the environmental challenges posed by overconsumption, particularly in the fashion industry. Rooted in my personal experiences and cultural identity, the project bridges sustainability, culture, and fashion by curating art exhibitions that utilize recycled and eco-friendly materials. These exhibitions serve as platforms for artists to combine cultural heritage with sustainable practices, encouraging community dialogue on responsible consumption and production. Through workshops, panels, and social media engagement, the initiative educates participants about sustainable practices in art and everyday life, fostering greater environmental consciousness. The long-term vision includes expanding the initiative to other cities and creating educational resources to inspire a broader audience to adopt sustainable lifestyles. This initiative aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 12: Responsible Consumption and Production.
