The University of Saint Joseph (USJ) has recently finished its “Sea of Plastic: A Recycled Art Exhibition” at its Kent Wong Gallery in the university’s Ilha Verde Campus, and the exhibition will now move to The Venetian Macao, running from 5-26 June.
It will be held at The Venetian Macao’s Circular Hall on Level 3.
Organised by the Institute of Science and Environment at the University of Saint Joseph (ISE/USJ), the exhibition aims to raise awareness about the need to protect our coastal ecosystems and oceans from plastic pollution. The theme of the exhibition is recycled art, highlighting the effects of plastic pollution on our oceans and coasts.
The exhibition features a variety of 3D art pieces, including sculptures of marine and coastal organisms, created mostly by students from schools and local artists. The artworks offer a range of interpretations of the plastic pollution in our oceans and coasts theme, conveying the artists’ feelings and ideas about plastic waste and sustainability topics related to plastics. All artworks have been exclusively created or composed from fully recycled or reused materials. Artists were encouraged to use various recycled or collected litter materials, from beach cleanups and other sources, with the main component being recycled plastics.
Meanwhile, the winners of the Plastic Pollution Artwork competition will be awarded during the opening ceremony of the exhibition at The Venetian Macao.
The exhibition will open daily, from 9 am to 9 pm. For more information visit USJ’s website.
