GREEN GRADS is curated by design journalist Barbara Chandler who works with UK graduates to bring them a platform that highlights environmental issues. This includes issues that surround climate change, biodiversity, and more. She chooses to feature work as “running the gamut from art to engineering.” The Dreamstones are [soft art sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unbounded-sanctuary) that bring awareness to the current climate crisis that we are facing in connection to the broken relationship that humans have with nature. She explains “My work exhorts humans and nature to live in balance on a beautiful Earth." NOtably, this initiative is in its third year and has taken over the third floor of the Heal's building.
