Crown Caps X Intercultural Communication

Thank you to everyone who joined and supported Crown Caps for Intercultural Communication at the Université de Genève last Friday 8th May.

Through collective participation and spontaneous dialogues, discarded bottle caps were transformed into playful shapes and nature-inspired forms, reminding us how small individual actions can come together to create connection, creativity, and shared meaning while opening conversations about the environment and recontextualizing waste as a cultural and social resource.

Bottle caps are disposable objects small, ordinary, easy to overlook. Yet they carry unexpected potential.

Each one is distinct in colour, shape, and traces of use; turn it over, and a simple, almost uniform reverse appears. This contrast reflects something familiar: we are both unique and connected by what we share.

Crown Caps for Intercultural Communication builds on this idea, transforming discarded materials into a medium for encounter, reflection, and collective action. Collecting becomes an invitation to consider excess, resource consumption, and global inequalities, opening conversations around the environment, climate, migration, and social justice.

Join Crown Caps for Intercultural Communication – a participatory installation exploring identity, dialogue, and collective power through everyday objects, transforming overlooked materials into a space for encounter, dialogue, and shared reflection around sustainability and collective power. Through small gestures, we explore bigger questions of connection and collective change.
