Zone2Source is thrilled to announce the opening of Material Flows: the hidden afterlives of plastic waste is an exhibition that explores the hidden journeys and afterlives of plastic, on Friday 14 February, 4pm – 6pm.

The exhibition features works by Ravi Agarwal, Kevin van Braak, Maarten Vanden Eynde, Kelly Jazac, Diana Lelonek, Milisifilem Collective, Ipeh Nur, Riar Rizaldi and Ben Parry. Material Flows delves into the plastic pollution crisis that is linked to the global production and trade of plastic waste. By mapping the trajectories of waste colonialism, the project situates plastic as both material and metaphor for the enduring inequalities and environmental crises shaped by global systems of extraction and disposal.
