Apartamentos El Río
Apartment project furnished with the garbage found in the Bogotá River
The Apartamentos del Río project, which is part of an alliance that seeks to protect and enhance the ecosystem of the basin, opened the doors to an apartment completely furnished with the waste that is found daily in the Bogotá River (microwave, sofas, tables, Decoration objects, toys, beds and appliances are some examples of what can be found, enough objects to furnish an entire apartment with them).
This project seeks not only to raise awareness about how citizens are contaminating it, but in what way they can contribute to rescuing it. For this reason, the exhibition has face-to-face visits for the media and influencers for a month, complying with all biosafety protocols and also has a virtual tour that allows you to appreciate everything that the apartment has, with tutorials to learn how to properly separate garbage, to dispose of electronic items properly, and tips to prevent this contamination.
