Knowledge gives you wings

A collaboration with Earth Helpers and Plasticvalla at DCAW 2024
Desee Art curated the dynamic mixed media art installation “Knowledge Gives You Wings”, created by Manveer aka Plasticvalla at the 7th edition of Delhi Contemporary Art Week, 2024.
The work, created with significant amounts of upcycled MLP plastic, makes a tangible environmental contribution and highlights the role of education in nurturing open, curious minds committed to sustainability.
The centerpiece of the installation, a book, the foundation of knowledge, is made from upcycled MLP plastic. Above it, birds that are also crafted from the plastic wrapper waste, soar.
Reflective surfaces on the book allow viewers to see new perspectives of the artwork and their surroundings, encouraging exploration and interaction. The work conveys sustainability education in its material component and aesthetics.
As a part of the work, an upcycled loudspeaker amplifies the message, delivering a universal call for climate mindfulness and sustainability.
Special thanks to Earth Helpers, a community started in 2021 by Yuvaan Monga, a six years old and now joined by his friend Shivansh Singhania in 2023. These young environmental champions, both 5th graders at The Shri Ram School, Vasant Vihar, are dedicated to environmental protection through education, waste management, and empowering communities to care for our planet.
