Plastic Mountain: Join the Art Installation in West Norwood

Norwood Forum supports Plastic Mountain, a not-for-profit organisation that uses art to raise awareness of the plastic issue and to inspire action. Plastic Mountain is launching its public art installation on Friday, 30 June in West Norwood. The installation is a mound with plastic waste in its layers, which will erode and reveal the plastic. The sculpture will contrast the natural and the artificial, challenge the viewers to rethink their plastic habits, and show how waste can become wonder.
