Welcome to JUSTBELAND: population The Characters, [x].
A place where everyone gets to simply be.
A new eco‑artivist exhibition by Francesca Busca from The Characters, a series of abstract portraits made entirely from waste, where identity emerges not only through form and colour but through the materials themselves. Each work transforms discarded fabrics, foils, plastics, papers, and other pre‑loved remnants into ‘trashure’ – scraps carrying lived histories that shape each character’s presence. By stripping materials of class and context, the series creates a democratic, deconstructed materialism in which every element speaks for what it inherently is. Fluid, circular forms challenge conformity and celebrate difference, making the series a radical act of eco‑artivism, inclusion, and bodily autonomy.

A new eco‑artivist exhibition by Francesca Busca from The Maremnants — a series created entirely from industry and ocean waste recovered through the Project One Wave network. This “Trashure” is transformed into pieces that echo seagrass, tidal movement, and coastal textures, revealing how deeply synthetic waste has entered our natural world. These artworks act as “ripples”: gestures that spark empathy, awareness, and the possibility of systemic change. Together, Amy Britton and Francesca Busca champion a shift toward a more holistic, ocean‑minded society.

More about Francesca
Francesca is an eco-artist whose practice sits at the intersection of art, activism and environmental advocacy. Since 2017 she has pioneered a unique form of waste-based mosaic, transforming discarded materials into intricate “trashure” artworks that highlight the urgency of rethinking our relationship with consumption and value.
Working exclusively with reclaimed waste, she creates pieces that blend beauty with environmental commentary, using each tessera as a protest against disposable culture. Her work is driven by a belief in art as a universal language capable of inspiring empathy, systemic change and cross-community collaboration. Through her approach, Francesca challenges traditional artistic and economic models, presenting sustainability not just as a theme but as a lived, holistic practice.
Franscesa Busca supports the Borough of Ealing Art Trail.
