Goal
"Lídia and Manuel Nascimento are the two artists behind the project Mar à Deriva. They’ve started collecting trash from the beaches from Torres Vedras municipality, their hometown, several years ago. Their art ranges from pieces made out of wood to painting and reusing marine trash from those beaches." It is based on the collection of marine litter and publication of the findings, some of them curious, on social media. In addition to raising awareness of this serious problem through action, it also raises awareness through lectures for the school community and the community in general.
