Plastic Poetry 020 | Miami Beach Bandshell

Free PlasticArt, News, Plastic Poetry

In April 2025, Free Plastic and O, Miami installed their 22nd poem in a series of public art works entitled Plastic Poetry.

Plastic Poetry is a series of community activations that blends recycling plastic, plastic pollution, beach cleanups, public art, and poetry. The text was written by a Miami fourth grader and is part of O, Miami’s “Soy de todas partes” project which celebrates the richness and vitality of Miami’s majority-minority community.

The five-inch letters are rendered in 7.7 lbs of recycled post-consumer plastic and plastic pollution harvested from from various community cleanups & collection groups found throughout Miami-Dade County.
