Not disappointed. Can't wait.

Artist and activist Benjamin Von Wong hopes to raise awareness this Earth Day with a giant installation made of plastic waste with the Greek legend of the Hydra as his inspiration

We marched today to demand a strong and ambitious Global #PlasticsTreaty Together with indigenous peoples, frontline communities, advocates, and concerned citizens from across the world we raised our voices to remind negotiators of what’s at stake at INC4.

“We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to profoundly change our relationship with plastics. We cannot waste it."   —Inger Andersen in Ottawa on #EarthDay ahead of this week's #PlasticsTreaty negotiations linkedin.com/posts/andersen…

🚨If plastic wins, we lose.🚫 #INC4 #StopPlasticPollution #PlasticTreaty #EarthDay

#PlasticsTreaty partnership day, Von Wong: "at UNEA, everyone was down to turn off the plastic tap and address plastic production from the source... but somehow, now, change has slowed down (…) Focusing on plastic pollution is not enough, we need to limit plastic production."

#PlanetVsPlastics. That is a reality we will face unless we act. This year #EarthDay falls as #INC4 #PlasticsTreaty talks begin in Ottawa. We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to profoundly change our relationship with plastics. We cannot waste it.

As countries start the second day of #INC4 negotiations for a #PlasticsTreaty, let’s remind them of their importance of closing the tap on plastic production & keeping polluters accountable. 📸 Miko Aliño & BFFP #BreakFreeFromPlastic - Center for International Environmental Law Greenpeace International - 🚰 Von Wong

Is your team tackling the #GiantTapProject? As Von Wong's Plastic Tap lands in Ottowa for @unep's plastic pollution talks, students are recreating his work and raising $1,000 in donations for #ExtraordinaryEarthProject and partners!

Great to see my art standing tall and proud ❤️❤️

As we near the end of the #INC4 global plastic treaty negotiations - it feels like low ambition countries are getting their way with intersessional work excluding work on plastic production :/ We need to keep the pressure up and demand that we #turnofftheplastictap on production

I love that the Executive Director of UN Environment Programme took the time, in the freezing cold to interview me in front of my art, when many others don't even bother to credit. So grateful! #TurnOffThePlasticTap #INC4 #GlobalPlasticTreaty

“Rather than focusing on outcomes, how can you create the conditions for success to be inevitable?" In an #IbyIMD interview, Canadian artist Von Wong explains how his radical approach to his work can help business leaders successfully oversee change: bit.ly/4anncQ7

My PhD thesis is now out and available on the Lund University website: portal.research.lu.se/en/publication…… Yesterday, it came on public display at Environmental and Energy Systems Studies (IMES), hanging next to Jens Hylander's. I'll make a thread with the arguments closer to the defence Sep 20. Cover photo by Von Wong.
