The Creative Green Map + Exhibition

Digital Map + Exhibition Launch

The Routes we Take: Sri Lanka’s Creative Green Map is a co-creation of the EUNIC Cluster in Sri Lanka and Good Life X with the aim to collectively map out the sustainable and creative industries of Sri Lanka in reviving and revealing its potential to South Asia and beyond. The project was initiated as a response to the escalating crisis in the environment and highlights the key role in which creatives play as part of the solution. It culminates in a digital map of identified creatives engaged in sustainable or circular practices or missions and an exhibition to initiate a series of engagements and tours with select creatives and their studios.
