Cardboard City, Miriam Ponello

"Cardboard City" was an inventive and immersive collaborative project led by Miriam Ponello, Julia's "pseudo-creative persona." Miriam, known as the queen of cardboard, guided participants in transforming recycled materials into an imaginative world.

Using only hot glue, scissors, cardboard, and paint, participants co-created a sprawling cardboard metropolis.

This project beautifully demonstrated Miriam's philosophy that one person's trash can become another's Taj Mahal, as they collectively built a vibrant and tactile cityscape from simple, discarded materials.
