"Art that turns waste into gold of time.
It is known that Europe sends massive amounts of its worn-out waste to Africa, adding to its life but also massively polluting the African continent. The art of the art collective Ndaku ya la vie est Belle and the visual artist/performer and cultural worker Eddy Ekete transforms waste into works of art through an almost alchemical process. This kind of art mobilizes the entire social community and confronts the local community with its own responsibility, turning us into active transformers instead of passive observers of the ubiquitous rubbish that surrounds us planetary. At Bierbais, Eddy in collaboration with Youth Biennial/(collective for Contemporary Art from Belgrade) worked on a prototype of Can Man, performing street costume made entirely from recycled materials.
