Plastic Poetry 013
Miami Beach Senior High
In May 2024, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their 15th 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 by students from Ms. Robby & Ms. Dixon’s classes at Miami Beach Senior High commissioned by O, Miami.
The five-inch letters are rendered in 4.15 lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from various beach cleanups held throughout Miami-Dade County in 2023.
