The "Circle of Thread Activation" features a striking installation—a towering mountain of unsellable clothing that invites the public to engage in hands-on, creative repair. This interactive event encourages participants to take garments from the pile and work alongside designers to mend and repurpose them, breathing new life into discarded textiles. Emily of Emipeli Design will lead a series of workshops, teaching techniques for sustainable fashion and garment repair. The activation also showcases installations and artwork by Emily, Lazarus, and Kate, adding an artistic and thought-provoking dimension to the event. Through these collaborative efforts, the Circle of Thread Activation highlights the importance of sustainability in fashion and promotes a circular economy, where clothing is not wasted but repaired, repurposed, and cherished. This event serves as both an educational experience and a creative community gathering, bringing together art, design, and sustainable practices.
