PLASTIC GOLD
A technique to transform discarded plastic bottles into beautiful pieces of jewellery. A craft to empower the Saharawi refugees.
This project was enabled thanks to the help of Sandblast charity (www.sandblast-arts.org) who also sponsored the trips to the refugee camps.
Sandblast is an arts and human rights charity working with the indigenous people from Western Sahara, the Saharawiswhose identity and culture is threatened by the impact of exile and Morocco's occupation. Sandblast wants to empower the Saharawis, to tell their own story, promote their own culture and earn a living through the arts.
