30 years of democracy, 10 ways to celebrate
We all wonder sometimes what to do with the kids during the school holidays or the weekend, while at the same time enjoying yourself. Well this October, November and December, the Two Oceans Aquarium invites you to discover creatures from the mythological floating island of waste called Plastikos.
Produced by Simon MAX Bannister, Plastikos is a unique exhibition that aims to raise awareness about waste – particularly plastic and micro plastic – and its impact on the oceans, all through art.
Simon Max Bannister presents an environmentally conscious exhibition of creatures created from reclaimed polyethylene plastic, which has been collected from the shorelines, roadsides and landfills of South Africa.
According to Simon, “We now know that the ocean’s living organisms have to compete more than ever to find food, and often mistake the colourful … plastics as tasty bites. Micro plastics now outnumber plankton in all of the major oceanic gyres.
“Seals, birds, fish and whales unwittingly face the risks of entanglement, choking or starvation because of our ignorance of what happens to our discarded waste. Reusing the waste I have removed from the natural environment as the medium for the artworks demonstrates the principles of reduce, reuse, recycle, mixed with an environmental paradox to help us rethink our understanding of what plastic really is.
