Net Works: Structures of Mutuality

Net Works: Structures of Mutuality invites us to reconsider what we discard, materials, relationships, and even parts of ourselves, and to imagine how they might be woven back into something whole. Created from reclaimed plastic, nets, and fiber, the exhibition transforms environmental waste into a powerful reflection on connection, care, and repair.

Designed by Noemia Marinho and created in collaboration with our participants, Net Works explores systems that hold us: structures of exchange, interdependence, and mutual support. Rooted in the belief that art is both a material and social practice, the work reflects a shared process of making, in which each participant contributes as an essential thread to a larger whole.

Through this exhibition, we celebrate the transformation of materials, of stories, and of community. What is often overlooked or discarded becomes a site of dignity, creativity, and renewed purpose.

About Gleaning Project

The Gleaning Project is a nonprofit environmental art initiative that connects artists and under-resourced individuals through collaborative artmaking, bringing healing to people and the Earth. Operating within the ecosystem of care, we offer a non-clinical ‘third-place’ that supports individuals facing challenging circumstances, thus bridging the space between crisis intervention and clinical care.

Join us in celebrating the work of this year’s Gleaning Project participants and the powerful networks we create together.
