WASTE

Doongalik Studios believes that De-

sign is a celebration of our Art, Cultureand Heritage, transforming and im-

proving the quality of our physical,

economic and social environment. Art-

ists have a responsibility to question

the obvious and challenge presump-

tions of what constitutes Bahamian

style or aesthetic.

Our environment has become pollutedwith waste materials of diverse de-

scriptions that have been thrown away

without regard for its negative effects.

These discarded materials, whether

garbage or trash, organic or synthetic

may themselves be transformed.

WASTE, therefore, is a chal-

lenge, inviting designers to cre-

ate fine art, to design objects

or to express ideas, primarily

using materials thrown away or

destined to be thrown away.

Transforming Spaces is a unique AnnualArt Tour by bus that is organized by adedicated group of artists and gallerieswho endeavour to present a new and ex-

citing collection of art to its patrons eachyear. 2011 will be the seventh year thatthe Tour has taken place.
