With one of the goals being to educate people about the plastics we find on our waterways\, they repurposed objects with a history to create a new narrative. Paper was made by Alexis from the debris collected. The quilted seat was commissioned from ACW quiltmaker\, Lucy Schroepfer out of fabric found along the river. John Olson\, from River Keepers\, helped us forage on the west side of the river in his electric pontoon. The project participants met eight times in September and October. \nOpen all 21 drawers! Take a memento and research card or two. Sit on the throne\, meditate and snap a photo. Post on Facebook\, Instagram\, or TikTok using #ArtToChangeTheWorld and #MississippiRiverPearl. Send us that photo! Leave us your impressions in the survey drawer for a chance to win an ACW t-shirt.\nRead about the project:  https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/mississippi-watershed-management-organization-project \nMill City Times features  MWMO water project and ACW Director\, Barbara Bridges. \nhttp://millcitytimes.com/news/changemaker-barbara-bridges-founder-and-director-art-to-chan.html?fbclid=IwAR2Z7Ije-bDPUC6U_D4OBLdECZ9Ht-FS-tO16nr-dHlMNj8mXzAafAHNWMQ \nSee the TikTok Video created by Amáda Márquez Simula\nhttps://www.instagram.com/p/CkHn3xzA82m/ \nRead More about the project: https://www.arttochangetheworld.org/mississippi-management-and-watershed-project
