The exhibition Regenerative Futures celebrates ten years of philanthropy and marks the beginning of a new chapter through visual artworks (films, installations, sculptures, paintings) that tell engaged narratives in favor of our planet’s survival. It also presents prototypes, objects, and furniture made from bio-based materials (algae, mycelium, insect leather, etc.).

With the creation of an Art and Environment Endowment Fund, I aim to further my commitment alongside institutional actors by awarding research grants to artists, scientists, and thinkers from regions threatened by climate peril and resource depletion—or whose practices integrate these urgent issues.

The Créateurs Urgence Climat program—featuring conferences and podcasts—has amassed over 310,000 listens between 2020 and 2024. By fostering interdisciplinary exchanges between artists, designers, and scientists, it has helped co-write narratives for a post-carbon era. These discussions can be revisited in podcast format on the website and in the latest publication released by Manuella Editions (February 2025).

In 2025, ALEOR Craft & Biodesign, a nomadic gallery dedicated to living design and craftsmanship, continues this commitment through an innovative and entrepreneurial format. By producing and publishing objects made from biomaterials (algae, mycelium, insect leather), its goal is to inspire key players in fashion, luxury, and architecture, encouraging new uses and contributing to alternative solutions to fossil-based materials—both aesthetic and sustainable.

These ten years of philanthropy have taught me that the greatest ambitions are realized through collective strength. In the face of the tragic acceleration of climate disasters, I am more convinced than ever that our actions must focus on preserving life for future generations.
