‘Actionable stories – Why do I upcycle/recycle?’ is one of the planned citizen engagement activities for the T-REX project.
The workshop will dive into the realm of end-of-life garments and explore the end (and a fresh start) of the garment’s journey. Participants will get to decide which garments can be upcycled and which ones are ready for recycling, all while creating their own story tags for the garments. Through this, they can make their reflective stories part of the display that others can learn from.
The workshop is designed by doctoral researcher Elina Lewe and designer/research associate Jamila Juzer Siamwalla.
