    Project 1
    "La Statue de la RenaiSenses" is one of the most iconic projects that I have been passionately curating on for the past two years nestled on the Pond Fer roundabout in Mauritius. Adhering to the goal of #SDG9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) of 𝐛𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐫𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞, 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, a spectacular landmark has been revealed in the form of a 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐩 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐩𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝟏𝟎 𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.

    the Statue of RenaiSenses, it is the rebirth of the Phoenix that awakens our five senses, with its innovative, energetic, modern sculpture set in old metals that promotes recycling while considering the humanitarian aspect, team organization, the community as well as the entire nation. This new structure aims to make the city of Vacoas-Phoenix proud as it constitutes several years of hard work, research and collection of materials that were recycled for the needs of the structure.

    Project 2:

    SDGs through Arts
    Socially engaged artistic project in which 17 local artists created each of the Sustainable Development Goals. Educating, Empowering and Experiencing are all key components of this project. Our vision is to bring the Sustainable Development Goals to various villages and countries through the arts.

    The first edition of SDGs through Arts was organized with the UNI-UAE during the Dubai Expo 2020 and was a permanent exhibition at the UN Hub, the second edition was curated with support from the British Council during the Mauritius International Art Fair at the Port-Louis Museum in Mauritius, and I am currently in Seychelles organizing the 3rd Edition of SDGs through Arts with local artists during the Seychelles Biennale of Contemporary Art.
