SONEVA FUSHI UNVEILS CARBON NEUTRAL RECYCLING STUDIO

The Maldives’ original barefoot luxury resort, Soneva Fushi, has opened Makers’ Place - a fully carbon-neutral island studio that recycles waste plastic and aluminium into works of art, as well as practical objects and building materials. The studio was built in collaboration with British artist Alexander James Hamilton, an advocate for sustainability in the Maldives for more than 35 years. A passionate ambassador for the ‘3 Rs’ (reduce, re-use, recycle), his art engages with the broader public sphere through interventions within natural landscapes and civic spaces alike, arts education, policy-making, issues of sustainability and ecocide. Makers’ Place will invite artists and guests to collaborate and unleash their creativity.
