Exhibit Description:<\/strong><\/h6>\n

The exhibit will transform pieces\u00a0of derelict vessels into art, aiming to educate and shine light to the issue of derelict vessels and marine debris as a wider concept. The lay out will demonstrate the negative consequences (oil spills, microplastics, sound pollution, etc), via art made out of materials sourced from the derelict vessels (wood, metal, electronics, etc). These pieces are intended to show what can be created with these materials as well as potential solutions to up cycling the material (surfboards, instruments, furniture, etc). Using art to explore the environmental and social impact that waste has on our planet and its inhabitants, it will begin to shed much needed light on the issues surrounding marine debris and housing issues.<\/p>\n
