On November 15-16, the "Art in Motion" ESG Sustainable Sports Fashion Exhibition, as part of the 2025 Shanghai International Sports Trend Culture Festival, was unveiled at a time-limited pedestrian street on North Maoming Road in Zhang Yuan. Set within a century-old Shikumen building complex, the exhibition showcased "Sports + Fashion" art installations that spotlighted low-carbon consumption and green living. This urban celebration masterfully blends sports, art, and sustainability values.
Five Art Installations Explore Core of Sustainability
The "Motion Starting Point" interactive push-rod device ignited the fusion of art and sports energy, marking the exhibition's grand opening. Drawing inspiration from skateboards, wheels, and golf clubs, this installation embodies "speed, circulation, and direction," symbolizing the vibrant launch of urban sports and art spirit.
Crafted by the artist from recycled materials, sports elements, and artistic expression, each installation invites viewers to experience "Art (Artful Life)" firsthand and contribute as co-creators. Through the "Motion (Path of Kinetic Energy)," sustainable living takes tangible form in urban spaces.
"Let's Move" harnesses the dynamic energy of warm-up exercises to awaken physical and inner vitality. "EVERFLOW" fosters a dialogue between people and energy through interactive pedal-powered generators, embodying sustainable design concepts of circular renewal and future illumination. "LINKAGE" weaves connections from discarded bicycle hubs and old shoelaces, reuniting time, materials, and emotions through creative engagement. "REPLAYER," made from eco-wood balls and repurposed golf clubs, encourages environmental awareness through interactive play. "REFLIGHT" presents poetic regeneration by reimagining discarded skateboards and denim fabrics in new configurations.
These art installations transcend static displays to become interactive platforms for sharing concepts. They translate abstract concepts like "regeneration," "symbiosis," and "kinetic energy" into tangible fashion art and interactive experiences, showcasing the future of circularity in the sports fashion industry and making sustainable living an everyday fashion statement.
Multiple Interactive Experiences Bring Art to Life
This ESG Sustainable Sports Fashion Exhibition redefines traditional formats by focusing on interactive and engaging art installations. Visitors can interact with warm-up installations at the entrance for photos and join hands-on upcycling art sessions, becoming part of the art installations themselves. This immersive, interactive design bridges the gap between art and daily life. By engaging through touch, experience, and creation, residents naturally grasp the concept of sports for environmental protection. This approach transforms "sustainability" from an abstract grand narrative into a tangible, practicable daily aesthetic and behavioral habit, sowing the seeds for green living in the public consciousness.
Cross-Border Collaboration Across Diverse Scenarios Energizes Urban Development
The "Art in Motion" ESG Sustainable Sports Fashion Exhibition showcases high-level creative installations in Zhang Yuan and the time-limited pedestrian street on North Maoming Road—a century-old area blending traditional Shikumen architecture with contemporary style. By merging fashion culture, healthy life, and eco-awareness into immersive interactive scenarios, it brings modern vitality and warmth to this historic block.
A dedicated interactive area lets visitors engage in collaborative art through digital relays, promoting contemporary sustainable sports fashion concepts. This supports Shanghai's vision as an International Consumption Center City and demonstrates Jing'an District's integrated approach to culture, tourism, commerce, sports, and exhibitions.
The 2025 Shanghai International Sports Trend Culture Festival presents the "Art in Motion" ESG Sustainable Sports Fashion Exhibition built on the integrated concept of "Sports + Art + Sustainability."
