The idea of the project is based on the concept of renewal and the ability of renewal, hence 'renewability', which is increasingly used in connection with our changing environments such as nature, global warming, and urban renewal. We believes that artists have a responsibility to bear witness to our changing environment and in a potential of art practice as a catalyst for social change. A focus will be placed on renewability on ecology, urban and rural regeneration, and community development at London Olympic Development Site in East End London. Furthermore we believe that the Renewability project will achieve high quality work through the Haiku-Hike, an unusual collaboration of artists, poets, architects, and academics and local community. The Haiku Hike and the subsequent display of photography and poems are to be exhibited in the exhibition. The project will be an event for an exploration of different artistic approaches to the present pressing issue of nature and culture and will attract audiences from diverse cultural and social backgrounds to reflect equally on diverse interests in art and environments.
