MAKING WAVES
a Collective Perspective on the Pollution of our Waterways
​

In an attempt to address the effects of water pollution, Ships of the Sea and twelve Savannah artists have joined together to create the exhibit "Making Waves."

 

Through the use of artistic works depicting the damaging consequences of water pollution we hope to encourage individuals to make small changes which will have a large impact on the health of our local and global waterways. 

​

For this exhibit, Ships of the Sea is partnering with Telfair Museums who will be featuring the work of international artist and activist Pam Longobardi at the Jepson Center, June - December 2018.

​

"[Using Litterati] a group of 5th graders picked over 1,2000 pieces of litter in their schoolyard, noticing that the most common type of litter was the plastic straw wrappers from their own cafeteria, which led to the school eliminating the straws at the request of the students.” –CNN
