Sobre o MoPRA
Metamorphosis of Plastics - the reality and multiple approaches to a material (MoPRA) is an interdisciplinary project that aims to publicise the different dimensions of plastics and organise activities that promote discussion about the tension between plastics as the main agents of modernity, convenience, economy and safety and the potential damage to the environment due to their persistence and omnipresence.
