Save That Pen: Pendamonium Installation on 5th April 2014 (More updates coming soon)



After 2 months of hard work, commitment and problem solving, the Green Beans STP team has finally installed our installation (Pendamonium) on 5th April for Save That Pen Day. This installation is constructed from hundreds of used, non-functioning pens collected by Save That Pen, an organization that refills and donates these unwanted pens to underprivileged children.

During the day, many visitors interacted with the chromatic curtain of pens and were (literally) hit by the sheer scale of waste. It was indeed heartening to hear unique yet valid interpretations of our installation during a feedback survey conducted by our group members. For instance, one participant commented that she felt that the installation was an apt representation of "the unity" in the various schools present to save their pens.

On the whole, we would like to thank Save That Pen for the opportunity and the memorable experiences we have gained from the project!
