Project Vortex is an international collective of artists, designers, and architects actively focusing on the global problem of plastic pollution through their art. Curated by founding artist Aurora Robson, this exhibition features works by a selection of Project Vortex members who are sequestering post-industrial and post-consumer plastic into works of art.

The world produces an estimated 360 million metric tons of plastic waste annually. Currently less than 9% of plastics are actually recycled globally. Current research reveals that microplastics are present in the blood and bodies of all humans. Operating at the intersection of art and science, Project Vortex strives to inspire people to rethink and reinvent plastic debris through innovation, creative stewardship, and education. Dedicated to improving global understanding of the impacts of plastic consumption and pollution, Project Vortex works to restrict the flow of plastic debris into the oceans and subsequently into the bodies of humans and animals.
