Material Flows is an exhibition exploring the hidden journeys and afterlives of plastic waste. It delves into the plastic pollution crisis linked to the global production and trade of plastic waste. By mapping the trajectories of waste colonialism, the project situates plastic as both material and metaphor for the enduring inequalities and environmental crises shaped by global systems of extraction and disposal.
