"IF ANDY WARHOL WERE ALIVE TODAY, WOULD HE PAINT WITH PAINTS AND BRUSHES? or would you use plastic as a source of creation?"

"Plastic Nature" is an expanded art project with socio-environmental responsibility that transforms and inspires the eyes of hundreds of children and teachers. Since 2022, the project has served more than 6,000 elementary school students and teachers in Unified Educational Centers (CEU) in the capital of São Paulo and schools in the interior of São Paulo.

Artist Eduardo Srur's main goal is to bring environmental education and awareness to the public school system through art, with activities that include lectures and meetings, creative workshops, an immersive experience using cutting-edge technology, urban intervention and a visual exhibition. The project invites students to collectively recreate, using plastic waste, iconic works from the history of art by greats such as Van Gogh, Tarsila do Amaral, Leonardo da Vinci, Picasso and Monet, among others. The works are then exhibited to the school community, alongside some of Srur's own works, with the aim of enhancing environmental education in line with the schools' pedagogical and cultural practices.

In 2025, C6 Bank will commission the expansion of the project in the city of São Paulo.

Since 2008 Srur has dedicated his career to teaching art and connecting the public with educational actions and attention to young people as a complement to his actions, interventions and artistic installations in public spaces.

As the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, adopted by the United Nations, states. "Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific progress and its benefits."
