Arwen DeweyStanding there tall and wide in the street, making a huge noise, the vast presence of the 'Tin Can Man' surprises, shocks and inspires those that pass it by. Eddy Ekete, the Congolese artist, made this costume entirely from discarded rubbish, as a means of inspiring people to think about their relationship with the environment. Every year at Kinact, a festival of 'international encounters', he and dozens of other cultural actors come together to celebrate socially-engaged art.
