Disposable products may be convenient, yet they crowd the vast landfills that now threaten our environment. This exhibition highlights the creativity of folk artists who use the materials discarded in everyday life to create beautiful and functional objects. Though these artists live all around the world and are from diverse cultures, they all share one thing: they take throwaways and transform them into objects of renewed beauty, utility and meaning. Find out how and why people from around the world transform junk in different ways. Come in and take a global tour of creativity at work in the arts of recycling.
