It features artist Danlu Zheng, presented as part of her solo exhibition Still Life. She traces how her artistic work with human hair led to a wider investigation into material reuse, drawing on interviews with material researchers, designers, founders and sustainability practitioners in China. The talk explores how technical limitations, collaboration, commercial pressures and public expectations shape the development of waste-derived materials, and how art can open up new encounters with unfamiliar materials.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/london/events/beyond-the-material-rethinking-waste-and-renewal-104142/", "official_url": "https://thekoppelproject.com/events/beyond-the-material-rethinking-waste-and-renewal", "image": "https://noky.io/images/1052488c0629c3cf51457248c911971ee2530d4eced63645aaeb5414f2a41319-1200.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-14T14:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-14T16:00:00Z", "place": "157 Regent's Park Rd NW1 8BB", "address": "", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Still Life", "start": "2026-11-10T00:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-15T00:00:00Z", "place": "Collective", "address": "", "price": "", "price_from": null, "price_to": null, "category": "exhibitions-museums", "tags": ["art/multidisciplinary"], "description": "\"Still Life\" is an exhibition bringing together works from different stages of Danlu Zheng's practice.

Its centrepiece is a new work inspired by the mythic figure Lilith, incorporating a bronze-cast human hand and owl foot and a branch from a tree by the artist's studio, alongside ceramic slabs and assemblages of discarded single-use plastics.
