GO GREEN : Safexpress uses truck container as an art medium
Uses old container to spread its Go Green message
Renowned artist to paint the container at Select City Walk, New Delhi
Safexpress, India’s largest logistics company, has partnered with this year’s edition of public art festival PUBLICA. Anchored by Ms. Surbhi Modi, PUBLICA is an art initiative that involves top Indian and international artists create site-specific works.
Speaking about the same, Ms. Divya Jain, Founder & CEO of Safeducate, India’s premier supply chain training institute and a part of Safexpress Group said, “This remarkable public art festival will involve the creation of a very unique artwork, where an artist will spend two weeks in a truck container, painting it and making it the canvas for his expression. Trucks are rarely the subject of casual conversation, unless of course one is voicing their many negatives. This extraordinary project, however, seeks to change that. It seeks to capture the beauty and the dreams that a mere truck container can evoke leaving the staunchest among us incredulous and hopefully, believers.” This incredible project of converting a truck container into a piece of art has been conceptualized by Ms. Divya Jain.
Ms. Jain explained, “We have placed our truck container at the Select City Mall at New Delhi. Here renowned artist Mr. Bhuwal Prasad, who has previously exhibited at the 6th Beijing International Art Biennale, will create his latest masterpiece live on the theme of GO GREEN. The container itself is a unique green innovation by Safexpress Group, wherein we have been continuously refurbishing old, end-of-life containers to develop mobile Container Schools. In this case, we are creating a mobile artwork, which will spread the vital message about conserving our resources and saving our environment.”
Notably, Safexpress has been driving its ‘Go Green with Safexpress’ campaign for the last decade. They have educated millions about the importance of going green and have helped countless firms develop a Green Supply Chain.
