Don't waste the waste - Cleaning Intervention (Dhaka)

As there are no public dustbins in Dhaka, everyone just drops its waste on the ground. Therefor the public space and even the parks are entirely covered by trash. When I did a cleaning intervention in the context of a street art workhop with local artists, I realised that some people make their living by collecting and selling the polluted waste. My idea was to dispose three dustbins with an adapted signet: please put the waste -- and take it from -- here. If everyone would use it the environment was cleaner and the work of the dust collectors was a bit easier. Australien artists Jane Finlay and Bangladesh Artists Neloy I Hussain joined and together we invited passerbys to join us for a collective cleaning intervention. We were aware of that we won't change the situation with such a small action, but at least it was a statement and a productive suggestion instead of just complaining about the situation. In the context my project 'Dhaka Walk' in collaboration with local artists, organised by Britto Arts Trust Dhaka, January 2012.
