VIRGINIA BEACH, VA.- The Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center invites guests to discover the whimsical outdoor art exhibition which debuts September 13, TROLLS: Save the Humans created by artist Thomas Dambo. This exhibit, featured on the Aquariums Nature Trail, will include six signature folklore-inspired troll sculptures built from reclaimed materials. Open until January 20, 2025, this art installation will inspire guests to create new adventures in nature while demonstrating how trash can be turned into something beautiful and unique.
Produced by Imagine Exhibitions in collaboration with recycle artist Thomas Dambo, TROLLS: Save the Humans blends art, nature, poetry, folklore, and sustainability messages in a unique outdoor art installation. In this new traveling exhibition, the trolls have a message to share with humans about listening and tending to nature.
In the exhibit, six young activist trolls have noticed humans are disconnected from nature and have started harming the planet. These young trolls set out to help humans learn how to live in harmony with the planet. Full of personality and activism, each troll has a name and plays a distinctive role in the tribe, becoming role models for humans to learn from.
Guests can expect appearances from troll, Ronja Redeye, who is the leader of the group and has a voice like whistling leaves in the wind. When she speaks, everyone listens. Kamma Can is a creator, teaching humans to create with colorful plastics instead of throwing it away. She exemplifies this by adorning her necklaces made from recycled items. Another featured troll is Rosa Sun finger who places flowers in an improvised flower planter made of a real car to watch the garden grow, showing how plants can make items come back to life. One troll, Ibbi Pip, hangs up birdhouses to bring wildlife closer and to awaken humans compassion for their natural surroundings.
There are 101 larger-than-life trolls that co-exist in various locations around the world, including Denmark, France, Germany, China, South Korea, Chile and more.
Imagine Exhibitions is proud to partner with Thomas Dambo to bring the creative vision of TROLLS: Save the Humans to the Virginia Aquarium, said Tom Zaller, President and CEO of Imagine Exhibitions. Were delighted to collaborate with the Virginia Aquarium to offer a new outdoor exhibition for guests.
