Re/source residency introduces the idea of waste as abundan and neglected material. As yearly humans are producing over two bilion tonns of trash it is time for a generational change that will lead us to perceiving waste as a resource. Resource that should be repurposed as much as possible in modern art practices.
For duration of two weeks, three multidisciplinary creatives from Belarus and Poland – @dashabrian, @_mikebona and @fordpolio, are going to conduct selfdirected research on Baltic countries pollution. They will aim to gather knowledge, data and materials to understand how and why trash become one of the heaviest burdens for humanity.
By using an open source documentation artists will collectively learn about the types and amounts of waste, degenerated recycling practices and pollution risks that come with capitalistic overconsumption.
All research will be developed in public view at Myymäla2 process wall. This space is crucial for the experimental learning experience that is embracing asking uncomfortable questions about the state of our planet , making mistakes, repurposing ideas and transforming trash into pieces of art.
