Through Friday, April 6
Location: Stata Center (Building 32) Student Street

The goal of Trash Into Art is to raise awareness around the value of waste materials such as cardboard, Styrofoam, plastics, metals and other objects found in a garbage can. A crucial focus is the impact of waste on marginalized people and communities.
This exhibition features student artists who were challenged to collect pieces of waste from their own lives (and/or from their communities) for a week, and to create a thought-provoking project from materials that would otherwise be thrown away.
Sponsored by the Muhammad Yunus Innovation Challenge, with the 2012 theme of "Waste: Put it to use."
