Abstract

Plastic waste is one of the most urgent environmental challenges due to its non-biodegradable nature and long-lasting ecological impact. In Indonesia, the rising volume of plastic pollution highlights the need for innovative approaches beyond conventional waste management. This study introduces the concept of the plastic colony as a metaphor for ecological threat and develops a philosophical framework, Tutur Limbah, Tutur Laku, Tutur Langkah, to narrate the progression from awareness of plastic’s dangers to the erosion of local ecological wisdom and toward collective action. Using participatory art, particularly installation art made from plastic waste, this approach integrates cultural insight with visual and sensory experience to foster deeper emotional engagement. The findings suggest that art-based interventions offer novel pathways to inspire behavioral change, reduce single-use plastics, and promote sustainable living.
