In May 2024, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their 17th & 18th poem in a series of public art works entitled Plastic Poetry.
Plastic Poetry is a series of community activations that blends recycling plastics, plastic pollution, beach cleanups, public art, and poetry. The text was written Victoria & Maikel, students from from Ms. Monclus’s class at Nautilus Middle School commissioned by O, Miami.
The five-inch letters are rendered in 5.38 lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from various beach cleanups held throughout Miami-Dade County in 2023.
