Clothes and suitcases usually go together but a new project will turn suitcases into art.

Our World Inside a Suitcase is a combined Wanda Foundation Environmental Arts Trust and Southland Charitable Trust Arts Murihiku project.

The Wanda Foundation uses creativity and storytelling to help communities have conversations and drive action for environmental sustainability.

Wanda Foundation founder Anna van Riel said sometimes environmental news often gave the impression the planet was doomed.

However, this was “a creative project that celebrates what we’re doing right for our planet”.

“The idea is that it inspires people to think about what they can do for Papatūānuku instead of feeling hopeless and like there’s no planet B.”
