Description
Trash Mash-Up, a community art project, will be hosting a Mash-Up Bash at the San Francisco State University 5th Annual Human Rights Summit: Privileged Destruction: Examining Environmental Justice on Friday, May 2, 2008 at 4:00pm. Trash Mash-Up is a collaborative community art project. Using disposable materials, collected before they enter the waste stream, participants construct “Maskostumes” which are original pageant masks and costumes inspired by traditions from around the world. This project reduces waste and inspires people to see each other and our environment in a new way. The summit has served as a forum not only for students’ academic research and inquiries, but for other kinds of conversation as well; a fundamental component of all past summits has been the acclamation and celebration of alternative channels of knowledge and activism, such as play and poetry readings, film screenings, multimedia exhibits, and dance, music, and spoken word performances.
