How we treat each other and how our individual and collective actions impact our environment, and the planet are direct consequences of our conscious and subconscious reality. The current state of global warming and climate change on our planet and the risks associated with life here, can be directly mapped to the way we think of ourselves, each other, and culture.
If we go back far enough, we can trace each of our origins to a culture that was much more harmonious with the planet. Perhaps then, the key to saving our future lies in revisiting our past and reactivating our lost culture! Lost Culture Series is a visionary project that examines our present and future through conversations with local and global experts. It delves into the significance of Earth’s oceans and the delicate balance of life they sustain. Through immersive installations, multimedia presentations, and interactive experiences, each participant is encouraged to reflect on their own relationship with the earth and the profound impact their choices can have on future generations.
Lost Culture Series inspires both the individual and collective commitment to balance commercial imperatives with the beauty and diversity of our planet. This commitment is fostered through the innovative use of biodegradable materials made by indigenous communities. Long before plastics became the norm, these communities crafted sustainable alternatives, offering a glimpse into a harmonious coexistence with nature; biodegradable utensils such as woven baskets, coconut cups and spoons, clay jugs, wooden straws, banana leaf mats and spreads; and the practice of connecting our microbiome to the inner workings of the planet (eating with our hands). Notably, the utilization of these materials as plating for hotels exemplifies a transformative approach to hospitality, where sustainability and cultural heritage converge.
