Australia - Contribute to an ocean-inspired collaborative loom at the Museum of Contemporary Art, as Nickelodeon and MCA celebrates the 20th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants these school holidays!
Speaking to the ongoing devastating impact of plastic in our oceans, contribute to this large-scale installation as it grows over the weekend. You will weave in patterns with plastic inspired by the Great Barrier Reef, while SpongeBob and his friends share their facts about threats to the ocean and tips to take action.
Why banish the plastic bag?
Each year, people around the world use over 1 trillion plastic bags. In turn, millions of seabirds and mammals are killed every year by plastic bag entanglement or ingestion. Not only do plastic bags kill marine life, their production releases billions of kilograms of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, fuelling climate change and threatening the Reef. Take the pledge with us to banish the bag!
What’s in it for me?
Our Artist Educators will teach you and the entire family plastic weaving skills. On top of this, celebrate the amazing ecosystem which SpongeBob calls home and strategies you can use to go plastic-free.
Do I need to bring anything?
No, all materials will be provided.
