Planet or Plastic? by National Geographic at ArtScience Museum
The Planet or Plastic? exhibition at ArtScience Museum features 70 images displayed in six thematic sections. It casts light on the fragility of the natural environment and the impact which plastic pollution has had on it.
The exhibition aims to raise awareness of society’s dependence on plastic by visually depicting the global plastic waste crisis and highlighting the people who are working on solutions to this urgent problem.
Planet or Plastic? has a special focus on the effect of plastic waste on the world’s oceans.
The exhibition also has an Interactive Space.
To complement the Planet or Plastic? exhibition, ArtScience Museum has developed a series of programmes. These include workshops, film screenings, online events and community activities.
One of the programmes is a beach clean-up where members of the public can join in to help remove plastic waste from one of Singapore’s local beaches. To be held on 5 December 2020 and 20 February 2021, the beach clean up is organised with local environmental organisation, Seven Clean Seas.
