Last year, Xavier Cortada worked with volunteers and environmental organizations to create an eco-art installation on Miami Beach called the Reclamation Project. The idea was to hang 2,500 mangrove seedlings in clear cups along the windows of South Beach businesses – to bring awareness to the destruction of the native mangrove – and “help remind us what our community looked like before all the concrete was poured.”
In its second year, Green Tee is teaming up with Xavier to try and further this message – and help raise funds for the Miami Science Museum. We will be offering a limited edition Reclamation Project Tee Shirt that will be sold at South Beach boutiques as well as our online store.
Last night, December 3rd, we celebrated the opening of Art Basel in style with an event at the Miami Science Museum, celebrating the aforementioned eco-art intevention - and introduced the Reclamation Project Tees for the first time.
