Why Burning Compost?

A social sculpture on climate, care, and invisible work

Burning Compost begins with something simple and ordinary: autumn leaves in Berlin. Gathered, cleared away, and increasingly fed into biogas plants to produce energy, these leaves disappear before many of us even notice the role they play in the ecological cycle. In nature, autumn leaves protect the soil through the winter and gradually break down into nutrients that nourish plants and trees in spring.

The project connects this interrupted cycle to another system that often goes unnoticed: domestic labour. By using leaves, paper bags, and the gesture of burning away certain words written on their surface, Burning Compost reflects on care work, the loss of resources, and the disproportionate impact of climate change on women.

The disproportionate impact of climate change across genders

For this social sculpture, we collect fallen leaves and preserve them in paper bags. Participants are invited to write their own messages on the bags, then selectively burn certain parts so that some words or traces disappear. Through this gesture, Burning Compost gives visible form to several processes of destruction and erasure Through this gesture, Burning Compost makes different forms of burning visible at once:
  • the disappearance of valuable compost
  • fires intensified by climate change around the world
  • forms of knowledge, local experience, and personal stories that also risk being erased

Exposing invisible care work through leaves, light, and time

The Light of Care

Another strand of Burning Compost explores cyanotype and chlorophyll printing in order to inscribe portraits of women onto leaves through the action of sunlight. The leaf becomes a living support that carries the faces of women whose care work is rarely recognised for what it is. Through light, time, and organic matter, the project brings ecology, memory, and invisible labour into relation.

Impact assessment framework

We aim to create a total of 365 artworks for the final sculpture, to represent nature’s annual cycle. So far participants have created 54 works at a conference at the ESPC school in Berlin last November. The Padlet displays our first attempt to collect voices, questions and experiences on the topic on Climate Change and Gender Equality.

Collective Art in Public Space

Educational process addressing structural violence against women

In October 2025, Masterpiece for Good began Pink Silence Avignon together with art students from Lycées St Joseph and Vincent de Paul in Avignon. As part of the ongoing Pink Silence series, the project focuses on violence against women and children through a process based on education, participation, and artistic work over time.
Across four social sculpture workshops, students worked with research, anonymous testimonies of domestic violence, and collective making. This process led to seven public installations and a series of visual materials, presented on 8 March 2026 for International Women’s Day in the schools and across the city.
Through 4 social sculpture workshops, students transformed research, anonymous testimonies of domestic violence, and collective creation into 7 public installations and a set of visual materials presented on 8th. of March (international women's day) 2026 in the schools and across the city.

Process and Method

Throughout the process, we regularly checked in with the group to understand how participants experienced the project and the anonymous format. This allowed for more honest reflection. Using a structured method, the students worked through social, emotional, and spatial aspects of the topic and developed seven social sculptures. The project was shaped by safe working conditions, critical thinking, and shared authorship.

To Measure Impact

Over several months, 54 students took part in workshops that combined research, discussion, and artistic practice. To make it possible for many people to contribute, we used Padlet as a shared space to collect thoughts, experiences, and stories.
These contributions were part of the process from the beginning. They informed the themes, influenced the decisions made in the workshops, and were gradually translated into artistic forms. In this way, the project developed step by step through a collective process in which reflection and making were closely connected.

In cooperation with both schools and with the support of the City of Avignon, the installations will be handed over to the city as part of International Women’s Day. Nearly 80 young participants will be present across Avignon to host the parcours, care for the works, activate them on site, and guide visitors through the installations. The aim is to create an open, respectful dialogue in public space.

Hanging the Laundry in the Square

A SOCIAL SCULPTURE UNFOLDING THROUGH FABRIC, BODIES, AND SPACE

Pink Silence Mazan takes shape within a very specific place and context. Developed in close dialogue with the residents and the municipality of Mazan, the project is part of a broader public conversation around domestic violence and responds to the urgent need to move this issue from the private sphere into collective awareness.
Modell Installation Mazan Square
Modell Installation Mazan Square
Domestic violence is too often confined to the home and treated as a private matter. The sheet, a symbol of intimacy, rest, and domestic life, becomes the central medium of the project. The French expression laver son linge sale en famille captures the social mechanism that keeps violence hidden in silence. Pink Silence Mazan turns that logic inside out. It is no longer about washing dirty laundry in private, but about washing it in solidarity, in a shared, visible, public space.

PINK SILENCE TURNS THIS LOGIC INSIDE OUT

Through four participatory workshops, local participants create 365 dyed and embroidered sheets, one for each day of the year. Those involved become the carriers of testimonies entrusted to us by women through our online platform. Gradually, these sheets become artworks in their own right, before coming together as a large scale social sculpture. In this way, Mazan is no longer reduced to the image of a place marked by violence, but emerges instead as a community choosing to make its solidarity visible in the face of a reality that extends far beyond its own borders.
Proposal | Pink Silence Movement Mazan
Our Vision

Autumn in Mazan

In collaboration with the local dance school Danse Mouvance, the project continues through movement. A site specific performance takes place across Mazan, bringing both bodies and fabric into public space. What was once kept behind the closed doors of the home now becomes visible at the heart of the village.

Sketch II
What Remained Inside

A SOCIAL SCULPTURE UNFOLDING THROUGH FABRIC, BODIES, AND PLACE

The 365 sheets come together as a large scale public installation that turns the village into a shared space of recognition, solidarity, and collective awareness. Pink Silence Mazan brings schools, cultural actors, residents, and local partners into a four phase process: local grounding, workshops, public installation, and long term engagement. In this way, the project stands as both a strong artistic statement and a civic gesture. It moves a pain long held in the private sphere into public presence, and restores public space as a place of shared visibility, responsibility, and care.

How We Create Impact

Our Process

The project used collective making to address the taboo of violence against women and children. Students from AIAT and women from the Village Action groups co created a large-scale installation of 365 pink bamboo sticks, each carrying an anonymous message in Tamil or English. The process engaged around 200 people, many from rural Dalit communities, and the work later toured in India and Germany. Shown in public space, the installation became a source of visibility and pride, strengthening participants’ confidence and sense of agency.

A key outcome was «Smile» a project capturing laughter’s power on paper. Jaroslawski used food coloring, and the local «brothers and sisters from the streets» blew colored water onto bread paper bags, creating vibrant patterns. Post-creation, the artworks were enriched with graphics inspired by Khayelitsha, one of South Africa’s largest townships, and adorned with pieces of 23-carat ducat gold leaf, thus elevating the creations to the status of art.

Restore Cultural Heritage of Community Space

In 2004, Aurélie Maestre, in partnership with Spanish and Palestinian NGOs, embarked on the «En el desierto sin tierra una respuesta solidaria» («In the landless desert a response of solidarity»), a project at Sahrawi camps in Algeria’s southwest Sahara. In place, the community leader requested A. Maestre to restore their community space portraying their cultural heritage artistically.

Empowerment through Social Action

The Transformative Powers of Social Sculpture

To transform that room, one of the few solid structures of the camps, she decided to incorporate paintings of traditional Sahrawi textile motifs. Assisted by a team of 15 volunteers, set about bringing this vision to life, working with local materials such as whitewash and pigments available in the area.

The transformative impact of this art project spread throughout the Saharawi camps, boosted their cultural identity, and ended with a grand potluck dinner, symbolizing their unity and shared heritage.

Seeing Together

Ten years of everyday beauty, resilience, and collective gaze

During 5 months each year between 2010 and 2021, Aurélie Maestre ran the annual project «Les 28 yeux». She sought to bring out the creative vision in everyday people, this time focusing on an open group of acquaintances from all Europe, not necessarily connected with the art world.

In line with her approach, Maestre launched a photo contest where participants were invited to send a picture each month on a specific theme. Regardless of whether they used a professional camera or a cell-phone, what mattered was their perseverance.

Over 40 individuals partook in this artistic journey over the ten-year span, developing a keen eye for the beauty in their daily lives. During the Covid lockdown, the rhythm intensified to a photo per day, providing a comforting routine that helped the participants feel less isolated.

In 2021, the best pictures from the decade-long project were exhibited in Marseille and Apt (France), providing a tangible record of the resilience and creativity that had been nurtured through this enduring initiative.

Like previous collaborations in diverse cultural contexts, Jaroslawski aimed to bring out the creative abilities of individuals, this time focusing on the student community.
She facilitated design workshops where students were challenged to create objects or sculptures using natural materials, as well as those familiar from their studies like computer chips and harddrives. Their task was to identify patterns and structures in nature and integrate them into their creations.
