At this year’s in - reimagined as a wild, regenerative landscape - the sculpture offered a pause-point in the chaos: a moment for festival-goers to stop, breathe, and reflect on Shangri-La’s Wilding manifesto of resistance, reconnection, and radical joy.

Mewa arrived at Glastonbury as part of Shangri-La’s Wilding - a reimagined landscape of resistance, radical joy, and creative regeneration.

Originally commissioned for the Sharjah Islamic Arts Festival in the UAE, the pavilion takes inspiration from the geometry of the Qubba and features mashrabiya-inspired patterns developed by . Its form invites reflection and rest - a sculptural space to breathe, think, and set intention - quietly echoing the call to rewild and reimagine the future together.

By day, it filtered the sun into shadows. By night, it glowed, calling, a sculptural beacon of pause and possibility.

Thank you to everyone who shared the space with us. Whether you passed through, laid flat, or simply looked up, it was a joy to witness.
