Turning

the Tide
turtles and marine plastic

Art Exhibition: Russell Island Recreation Hall

2pm 5pm | Tues Sat | 22 August 3 October
Did you know that up to 30% of turtle deaths in Moreton Bay are caused by plastic litter?
Turning the Tide turtles and marine plastic is an art exhibition and program of public events and workshops
highlighting the impact of plastic pollution on turtles, particularly in the marine environments of Southern
Moreton Bay.
The exhibition takes place on Russell Island during the 2015 Quandamooka Festival, and brings together
works by Narelle Renn (Coochiemudlo Island), Salt Water Murris Quandamooka Gallery artists (North
Stradbroke Island) and Karen Benjamin (Wellington Point).
Creative, cultural and environmental activities available during the exhibition period will get us thinking
about ways we as communities and individuals can act to turn the tide on marine plastic pollution.
