The event was organized at the initiative of the Heydar Aliyev
Foundation with the support of Temiz Seher OJSC (Clean City), IDEA
Public Union, Icherisheher State Historical-Architectural Reserve

Themed “Create for Peace, the art project united 12 foreign and
18 local artists from nine countries who demonstrated examples of
art made from waste and items considered unnecessary.
As part of the Green World Solidarity Year and preparations for
COP29 in Azerbaijan, creative people from around the world who have
joined this initiative for environmental protection are calling for
peace and eliminating environmental problems with their works.
The main goal of the exhibition, organized at the From Waste to
Art Museum in Gala, is to attract people’s attention to
environmental protection, reduce the amount of waste and clearly
show that objects considered unnecessary can be turned into works
of art.
Over the past period, more than 200 creative people from 46
countries have taken part in the art project, which has been held
since 2012.
Their works were showcased at From Waste to Art Museum, created
on the initiative of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation on the territory
of the Gala State Historical and Ethnographic Reserve.
