Following a competition to find ten pieces of student work reflecting on this year’s Earth Day on 22 April, Westminster students’ artworks are currently on display at the Sustainable Planet Exhibition in King’s Cross, a project funded by the Quintin Hogg Trust.
The pieces speak to three of this year’s Earth Day themes: Plant Trees, End Plastics and Sustainable Fashion. They also reflect a range of art forms, including painting, photography, fashion design and poetry.
The competition, which was organised by Pippa Catterall, Professor of History and Policy at the University of Westminster, is the first arts collaboration between the University of Westminster and King’s Cross, and the resulting exhibition consisting of the winning pieces features work in lightboxes along Lower Stable Street at King’s Cross.
The students whose work was chosen to be featured are Nissam Fassi-Fihri with the piece titled ‘Look Up’; Charlotte Chin with the piece titled ‘Life Cycle of Trees’; Jasmine Etuate with her piece ‘Precipitating England’; Cristiano Mantovani with the piece ‘Take Good Care of Me’; Marie Baverstock and her piece titled ‘London Plant Trees’; Can Erdogdu with the piece titled ‘Plant Your Damn Trees’; Emily Duff with her poem titled ‘Clothes Tell a Story’; Ollie Astley with the piece ‘Forget Fast Fashion’; Iris Savatovsky with the piece ‘Planting for the Planet’; and Nicola Jurkiewicz with the piece titled ‘S*ck of It’.
The exhibition is currently on display until Monday 15 May along Lower Stable Street at King’s Cross.
