CONVERSE UPCYCLING WORKSHOP WITH LAVA LA RUE

BASED IN COAL DROPS YARD, LAVA AND I DESIGNED AND SET UP A SPACE WHERE PEOPLE COULD ATTEND WORKSHOPS ENCOURAGING THEM TO SHOP ETHICALLY AND GET CREATIVE WITH THE RECYCLING OF CLOTHING! I BELIEVE THAT WHEN WE INVEST TIME INTO OUR CLOTHING (AKA, THE OPPOSITE OF FAST FASHION) IS WHEN WE BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND THE VALUE THAT OUR CLOTHES SHOULD HOLD. OVER-CONSUMPTION AND CRASS CAPITALISM TELLS US THAT WE NEED MORE TO BE HAPPY, WHICH WE KNOW TO BE A HUGELY DAMAGING CULTURE TO BOTH OUR PLANET AND TO THOSE WORKING TO MAKE THE CLOTHES.
