Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we meet eco‑artivist, rubbish artist, and waste mosaicist Francesca Busca. Known for transforming discarded materials into what she calls “trashure”, Francesca has built a practice that merges art, activism, and environmental urgency. Since 2017, she has created mosaics entirely from waste, using textile scraps, unrecyclable aluminium, scrap paper, and even marine debris recovered through Project One Wave.A former City of London solicitor, Francesca left the legal world in 2015 to pursue art full‑time. She later graduated with distinction from the London School of Mosaic, where she also lectured between 2021 and 2022. Francesca’s eco‑artivism extends far beyond her studio. She lives a low‑impact lifestyle rooted in veganism, renewable energy, second‑hand clothing, plastic avoidance, local food sourcing, water conservation, and even four years of flight‑free living.Episode recorded on 13 January 2026. Website: www.francescabusca.artInstagram: @francesca_buscaPodcast details:Podcast email: [email protected]: www.artiststales.netInstagram: @artists_tales_podcastThreads: @artists_tales_podcast
