Beyond Plastics Art and Activism Panel

In this episode, I'm sharing a recording of a live panel event I hosted at MAPSpace gallery during Repurposer Collective's second annual exhibit. I'm joined by two incredible artists, Anne Percoco and Cindy Pease Roe, for a conversation about their practices transforming found materials and waste into compelling works of art. Anne shares projects ranging from a sculpture made of over a thousand water bottles on a sacred Indian river, to street trash shaped into oysters and leaves. Cindy talks about her 15 years working with marine debris — including a 14-foot great white shark installed at Cape Cod — and her nonprofit UpSculpt, which brings ocean plastic education into schools. Facilitated by Beyond Plastics, we cover everything from storage and cleaning techniques to health precautions, the role of artists in addressing climate change, and what it really feels like to pick up trash in public. I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did!https://www.cindypeaseroe.com/https://annepercoco.carbonmade.com/https://www.beyondplastics.org/ https://www.upsculpt.com/https://www.rebeccasolnit.net/This podcast was created by Natalya Khorover.
