슬롯사이트When addressing a problem that has attained truly critical proportions, my aim was to come up with an intervention that conveyed the seriousness of the situation in a stark and upfront fashion. I hope it serves the purpose, 슬롯사이트says SAGE, visual artist and Co-Founder of Floating Canvas Company.

Maharashtra State had introduced a statewide plastic ban from April 2018 stringently in Mumbai and other cities. The grimness of the situation was further highlighted when the Marine Drive promenade at Mumbai was littered with nine tonnes of garbage and plastics in July.

Chief Minister of Maharashtra Devendra Fadnavis said 슬롯사이트Marine plastic pollution is a menace that directly concerns a coastal metropolis like Mumbai. Apart from engaging with it on a daily basis, we are always on the lookout for effective ways to raise awareness amongst citizens about the issue at hand. That슬롯사이트s why we were excited about this concept by Floating Canvas Company. As one of the winners of Maharashtra Startup Week organised by the Maharashtra State Innovation Society (MSInS), Floating Canvas Company had a mandate to use art to bring about positive social change and I am happy to see them take a significant step in that direction.슬롯사이트�

The installation will be on display until March 15, 2019.
