Art+Activism #21 Redesigning What's In Your Closet as a Social & Environmental Practice
with Connie Ulasewicz, Nora Scully, and Michelle Santoro
On Zoom
Sunday, January 25, 4 to 5:30 pm PT
Your closet holds more than just clothes. It contains gallons of water, pounds of fertilizer, and a significant carbon footprint. Why keep or pitch your clothing? Let’s explore why and how you can extend the life of your favorite pieces through repair and redesign.
Connie will uncover the waste, pollution, and policies shaping our apparel choices. Nora and Michelle will share practical ways to repair, redesign, and keep your clothes in use. Together, we’ll reveal the true value of what we wear.
