The sadly typical human response to washed-up trash lying on the beach is to ignore it. But you can't turn away when it gets up and walks. For over 10 years Marina DeBris has been devoting herself to putting marine pollution in the public's collective face by fashioning selected bits into wearable art -- trashion. This ongoing project is called "Beach Couture: A Haute Mess." It's making fashion statements into bold declarations. It's advocacy as entertainment!

 

See the parades at 1pm and 2.30pm on Saturday April 23rd at the Festival Hub in Bondi Park.
