Making Art from Ghana's Waste

The Cultural Frontline

Available for over a year

Artist Serge Attukwei Clottey makes tapestries out of yellow plastic gallon jugs used in Ghana. The jugs were originally used to transport cooking oil and now they're used to store water, but he says they get dumped in streets and beaches and there is no system for recycling them.
