The exhibition "From Waste to Life" will be open to visitors on May 11 at 11:00 a.m., at the Taksim metro station.

The exhibit is the fruit of an initiative by the Halıcıoğlu and Mimar Sinan Schools for the Hearing-Impaired. The exhibition which starts in the second week of may is internationally recognized and designated for people with physical impairments and will last until the end of the month. The exhibition, which will raise awareness of the possible usages of waste for artistic purposes, will show how waste can be evaluated and what it can be turned into.

In addition to works measuring 10-by-30 centimeters that have been recycled out of carpets and rugs, the exhibit features great works of art created by newspaper and other recycled materials. There will also be art work created by children using oil paints, crayons, stones and oilcloths.

The physically impaired artists that populate the exhibition with their work aim to evaluate the importance of recycling and taking an active role in the creative process. Implying that art knows no boundaries, the artists will raise awareness of the importance of environmental conservation with the exhibition.

Another function of the exhibition, on the other hand, will be proving that the discarded materials that would otherwise have been deemed useless are given a second chance in the form of artworks made by skilled hands.

The week for people with impairments is celebrated between May 10 and May 16, by the 156 member states of the U.N. On the other hand, Dec. 3 marks the annual International Day for Persons with Disabilities.
