#PLASTIKOPHOBIA: DRIVING ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL IMPACT CONVERSATIONS TO ACTION

Benjamin Von Wong has been making waves around the world with his epic photography, hyper-realistic art style and innovative concepts, specifically designed to go viral and drive conversations. He credits his background in engineering for giving him a unique edge for creative problem solving. Toronto-born (his parents migrated from Malaysia), Ben studied mining engineering at McGill University, and picked up photography as a hobby while working in a mining company in US.

Haled as an engaging storyteller, viral campaign creator and marketing master, Ben challenges himself to create shareable meaningful work that will help to drive change. He is currently focused on conservation and social impact projects, and looking to work with corporations that have a Triple Bottom Line.

We will kick off the event with a chill-out and networking session over free ice-cold Canadian craft beer on tap and coconut water, and chance for you to share your values with the change leaders and the like-minded.

Ben will be launching #PLASTIKOPHOBIA, his first exhibition in Singapore, at the Sustainable Singapore Gallery, Marina Barrage from 7 March – 18 April 2019, presented by the High Commission of Canada, to mark World Wildlife Day, and raise awareness of the scale and severity of the problem of plastics in our oceans, and inspire visitors to take action to combat this threat to our planet.
