trash worship
<p><strong>I am a mature artist and organizer having been involved with environmental issues since the early eighties.</strong></p> <p><strong>I started the first recycling collection in the lower east side new york city and in 1999 founded a performance group : TRASH WORSHIP which was active in raising consciousness and inspiring people about the value of waste as a resource and the approach to the creations and transformations of consumer packaging waste to be an act of devotion and worship. a zen approach on the principle that a clean mind also brings along a clean environment.</strong></p> <p><strong>My latest project is taking me to delhi india where i have contacted the kabadi (rag pickers) community and it was concluded that time is ripe for them to bring on some value added to their recycling work by creating beautiful saleable items to the tourists visiting delhi. The formation of a co op of all women waste workers is under way and the funding is needed for start up operations.</strong></p> <p><strong>you can find more about me, my lifestyle, my events and my exhibits & creations by a google search under rolando politi, trash worship & kappo kappino.</strong></p>
