Can’t believe this chapter’s already over. Two years across Kyoto and London — what a ride. Still remember Val asked what the highlight of MA journey was, I said the exhibition visual design, tbh it was never that, it was meeting you all, my fav gcdp chicas and chicos.💫So many good times, so much growing, and most importantly, the best people I could’ve asked for. The sunset looked extra soft that day, just like a gentle farewell. Gonna miss you all more than words can express.🍊🧡

Circular Communities is a living framework for collaborative action that reimagines the circular economy through culture, care, play, and community. Rooted in London and shaped by stories from five continents, the project centres repair, resourcefulness, storytelling, and shared wisdom, making circularity not just technical, but joyful, human, and grounded in everyday life across the globe. Project by Winifred Ahupa @circularcommunities_ @winnieahupa ——————————————————————————— 「Circular Communities」は、文化、ケア、遊び、コミュニティを通してサーキュラーエコノミー（循環型経済）を再構想するための共創的な実践フレームワークです。ロンドンを拠点に、5大陸から集めたストーリーによって構成された本プロジェクトは、修理・臨機応変さ・ストーリーテリング・共有の知恵を中心に据え、サーキュラリティ（循環）の概念を単なる専門的なものでなく、楽しく、人間らしく、そして世界中の日常生活に根ざしたものへと広げていきます。
