Enviado por José Antonio Sierra

The Embassy of Spain in Australia, in collaboration with The University of Melbourne’s EU Centre, the School of Languages and Linguistics and the Sustainability Team, is pleased to invite you to the launch of Trashlation, an exhibition by Basurama, opening at the University of Melbourne on Tuesday 6 October 2015, 6.30-8pm.

 

Basurama is a artist collective based in Madrid dedicated to research, cultural and environmental creation and production whose practice revolves around the reflection of trash, waste and reuse in all its formats and possible meanings. Their project Trashlation, made of photographs of people and their (non-organic) rubbish taken in eighteen different countries, aims to visualize at world level, how much waste each and everyone of us produce, regardless of our social class, country of origin or age, to be able to display in images how local and global are closely related; to see others through what generally remain hidden, their rubbish.

 

When: Tuesday 6 October 2015, 6.30-8pm.

Where: University Hall, Old Quadrangle, The University of Melbourne , Parkville VIC 3010.

Opening words by the Consul General of Spain, the Head of the School of Languages and Linguistics and Basurama.

Light refreshments provided.

Free attendance, RSVP required: trashlationmelbourne.eventbrite.com.
