What if a used plastic bag could become part of a big inflatable artwork?
Museo Aero Solar is a citywide collective artwork made entirely from discarded plastic bags, constructed through public workshops taking place across Amsterdam between JulyJune and September. As part of Synergy City, three participatory workshop sessions invite you to join the making process: cutting, sorting, taping, layering, drawing, and assembling materials into a large- scale inflatable structure that grows with every contribution.
Younger children are warmly invited to take part bythrough drawing and mark making on the plastic bags. Older participants and adults join in the construction. No experience is needed;, just bring your curiosity and a willingness to make something together.
