Marina DeBris on Artivism

Marina is an Artivist, who began picking up trash on local beaches, creeks & streets over 20 years ago. In 2009, she began to create pieces of art that questioned the use of single use items and the amount of waste we create - and her work is exhibited regularly at galleries, 'trashion' exhibitions, 'inconvenience stores' and the current 'Sculptures by the Sea'. We chat about Marina's story, her perspectives from 20 years of picking up trash, artivism and animal welfare.Useful links:Marina Debris on LinkeIn (here)http://washedup.us/Reuters Article 'Trashion' designer displays latest art at Sydney beach exhibition (here)Conversation article 'Trashion' designer Marina DeBris turns ocean rubbish into high-end outfits – in pictures (here).For further information about Ocean Protect, check us out at www.oceanprotect.com.au Hosted on Acast.
