The Star of Sustainability

Mago Nagasaka
His creation under the slogan "sustainable capitalism", which stands for the sustainable cycle of culture, economy, and social contribution or CSV (Creating Shared Value), sharing values with the local people and developing the economy.
“I want to share the truth of Ghana with the world. It’s still a black star. I want to make it shine!”.
In June 2017, on his own, he visited Agbogbloshie, a slum in Ghana, the graveyard of world’s-electronic waste. There, MAGO met those who were desperately burning electronics in order to gain 5 dollars per day. Inhaling volumes of toxic gas, these people develop cancer and die in their thirties. With the shocking scenes, he decided to show this truth to the developed world through the power of art. His Ghana artwork reduces waste in the slum, contributes to the economy and enhances culture. It also spreads the message of this issue around the world.
“Without a beautiful world, mankind cannot live life in beauty. Therefore, by means of beauty, art leads us to peace.” -Mago Nagasaka
