Flip Flop Exhibition Beachcomber Museum Flora

sunday 11 may 2025, 10:00 - 17:00 uur


Beachcombers Museum Flora has completely renewed the temporary exhibition of OceanSole! The exhibition called 'flip flop arts' is a colorful exhibition with images made from recycled flip-flops from Kenya. The works of art, made from flip-flops collected on the beach, fit in perfectly with the theme of beachcombing. Flip-flops are the most worn footwear in the world. Because they are cheap, they are often worn in developing countries. Many discarded flip-flops end up in nature and the ocean. There they join the 'Plastic Soup'. A large part of the Plastic Soup washes up on the beaches of, among others, Kenya. The organization 'Ocean Sole' is committed to giving the washed-up flip-flops a second life. Creative Kenyan artists upcycle the discarded flip-flops into well-known animals from the African savannah and the oceans. In this way, each image combats environmental pollution and creates employment. Each flip-flop has a different color or even multiple colors. This gives the artists the opportunity to vary endlessly. The exhibition at the beachcombers' museum Flora features various statues, large and small, such as giraffes, lions and elephants. There is also a 'workshop' that has been reconstructed where you can see how these statues are created.
