Edward Burtynsky featured in Waste Age: What Can Design Do?

MAC, Birmingham
26 October 2024 - 23 February 2025

This major touring exhibition from the Design Museum, London, redefines waste for a cleaner future. It captures the devastating impact of waste, while showcasing innovative designs that are reshaping our interaction with everyday items, from fashion to electronics. 

The exhibition tells the story of the environmental crisis and marks MAC's first collaboration with the Design Museum to highlight the current crisis and design's role in the problem. It also explores how design can transform our waste into valuable resources, promote new ways of living with the Earth and not from it, and where there is no such thing as waste. Divided into three topics, this exhibition explores what lies beyond our current toxic waste infrastructures, exploring the environmental, social, and geopolitical forces at work.
