Description
Second in a series of 4 films the Matthews Opera House's ArtCentral program is screening with funding supplied by the Northern Black Hills Rotary club. Hosted by BHSU Sustainability Club. “Waste Land” is an uplifting feature documentary highlighting the transformative power of art and the beauty of the human spirit. Top-selling contemporary artist, Vik Muniz, takes us on an emotional journey from Jardim Gramacho, the world’s largest landfill on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro, to the heights of international art stardom. Vik collaborates with the brilliant catadores, pickers of recyclable materials. They are true Shakespearean characters who live and work in the garbage quoting Machiavelli and showing us how to recycle ourselves.
DISCUSSION follows the movie until approximately 9 p.m.
