Re•Purpose is an exploration of human ingenuity, involving the study of past purpose and the systems of knowledge which collaborated to produce it, as well as the potential for new and innovative ways to consider aesthetic, instinctive, scientific, economic, and philosophical ideas and practices. It is a conscious, focused, and sustained engagement, allowing for the freedom and creativity to connect and reimagine the use of resources.

The Re•Purpose exhibit at Kaneko featured works by local and international artists which incorporate recycled or reinvented materials. It explored how individuals and communities can be Re•Purposed, striving to make Omaha a more unified and sustainable city.
