Norwood JunkAction

Norwood JunkAction Rooted in Norwood Junction, a multicultural area in South Croydon, Norwood JunkAction (NJA) was initiated by artist Norman Mine.

Norwood JunkAction is an environmental community project that aims to build alternative and educative ways of approaching the issue of litter by transforming it into art. Supported by the local community, it began as an eco-community project aimed at showcasing the efforts and motivations of community members involved in litter picking. NJA promotes litter-picking as a way to foster neighbourhood

connections, care for the environment, and engage in meditative action to enhance well-being. The project not only addresses litter issues in communal spaces but also celebrates individuals who volunteer their time for community service. A unique aspect of NJA is transforming collected litter into public sculptures, which reflect the experiences of volunteers and inspire others to engage creatively with social and environmental issues, fostering neighbourhood pride. Since its inception, NJA has evolved into a platform for volunteers, creatives, and community members to share ideas, opinions, and ambitions. The project explores the potential of litter to express contemporary social and environmental themes, encouraging discussions around art, creativity, community, waste, recycling, and environmental care. NJA invites everyone to think creatively in their daily lives, using creativity as a tool to overcome struggles.
