DEARTH – HIPPO

Description

After having both participated in the Contemporary Design Market 2021, Pieter Bostoen and Gilles Mayk Navangi are joining forces for the 2022 edition.

Driven and supported by Flanders Dc, this collaboration aims to promote exchange, dialogue and cultural diversity. The aim is to confront different perceptions of design and thus open the way for new visual languages and artistic movements.

For this collaboration, Pieter and Mayk dug deep into their interests, motivations and worldviews in order to come up with a project that is representative of their respective identities. This led to the idea of creating objects that celebrate flora and fauna. These are ceramic containers symbolising endangered animals.

These objects are jars, totems, meditative sculptures, which advocate contemplation and benevolence towards the animal kingdom.

Through this project, they wish to draw attention to the tragic fate of certain animals due to the profit and exploitation of biodiversity.

The Virunga National Park is the richest protected area in Africa, home to more than a thousand species of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians, as well as one third of the world’s endangered mountain gorillas.

A percentage of the profits from the sales of the DEARTH project will be donated to this organisation, which fights war, poaching and illegal activities in the region in defence of animals.
