/Weaving the Ocean, an ongoing creative project launched by Indonesian artist Ari Bayuaji, has travelled to numerous locations worldwide and was invited to show at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in the US as part of the famous RiverRun Art Festival from April 4 to 16. The project, started in 2020 and was exhibited at Nunu Fine Art Taipei in 2021, involves collaboration of the artist and local residents in Bali, Indonesia. They collect plastic waste along the coast, cleaning and processing it, weaving it into warm pieces of art. This project is not only environmentally sustainable but also established a resilient community during the Covid-19 pandemic.
