Climate activists from Greenpeace installed a new artwork by Anish Kapoor on a Shell gas platform in the North Sea.

Glastonbury is over—but what might it look like in the future? Artists are proposing a sustainable model

Glastonbury festival has concluded, and cleanup efforts are underway to address the estimated 4,000 tents left behind, alongside other waste. However, the Shangri-La stage offered a different vision: instead of traditional art installations, it featured allotments, plants, and seeds for festival-goers under the banner of "The Wilding." Creative director Kaye Dunnings led a reset focused on nature, community, and sustainability, with works like Sonic Bloom (a collaboration with charity Sounds Right) and Coral Manton's crop-circle-inspired installation Field Work. Shangri-La also purchased a nearby plot to tend plants for reuse in future festivals, aiming for a sustainable exhibition model.
