“WE SHALL DIE OF TOO MUCH CIVILIZATION”
A polemic harangue performed on the expressionist music of Leon Kirchner.The exhibition has been extended to April 6!The goal of the exhibition is to raise awareness
and inspire people to take notice, take action, and make life changes that can positively impact the planet. Plastic is one of the biggest threats to our planet. Ocean plastic pollution is killing more than 100,000 marine animals and birds each year; also, people are negatively affected as the toxic chemicals in plastics are contaminating our bodies.Plastic Madness was organized by Glen Rogers in 2016 while living in Mazatlán. She was moved to action after finding a plethora of plastic garbage on her daily walks. With both sadness and disgust, she invited local artists to engage the public through their artwork and organized the first exhibition at the Angela Peralta Gallery. That exhibition traveled to California and New York with U.S. artists showing alongside those from Mexico. She invited San Miguel area artists to create works for a new exhibition at Casa Europa for this latest version of Plastic Madness.
