Learners from schools in and around Cape Town have produced inspiring and thought-provoking pieces in the 'Waste to Art' exhibition. Held by the City, the project aims to remind people of the importance of recycling:
, an extension of the City’s “Let’s Act” campaign, which was created to remind people of the importance to reduce, reuse and recycle.
The initiative has produced thought-provoking art pieces under this year’s theme: Cape Town – City of Hope. Grade 7 learner Maysha Alam says: “We wanted to show people how fish can live in harmony if people didn’t litter. It took us about three weeks to complete the project and our message to people is that they should keep the ocean clean.”
“We created Table Mountain out of cardboard, trees out of plastic, we used foam to shape it into houses as well as created the Waterfront with the big wheel. We used a foam cup to create Cape Town stadium.”Stemmet says, “We combined the old with the new. You don’t see much of the VW minivan anymore, so we decided to reinvent it. We used knives, spoons, bottles and plastic bags. We want to tell people that they shouldn’t throw anything away. It took us about three weeks to create.
