The MARLISCO Exhibition

The MARLISCO Exhibition is an interactive installation with information about marine litter: its sources and amounts, the problems that it creates, but also possible solutions. The exhibition is available in 15 languages and is travelling around European cities for the duration of the project. ISOTECH Ltd created this installation in Cyprus and it is now available in two languages, English and Greek.

The MARLISCO Exhibition in Cyprus was inaugurated during the MARLISCO Video Contest Award Ceremony, which took place at the University of Nicosia, on 26th March 2014. The exhibition then traveled around Cyprus, and below are some photographs from its various stops.
