I am excited to announce the launch of "ReMade in the RGV"
This project aims to unite and engage our RGV community in sustainable fashion practices and environmental awareness through skill-sharing and discussions. Hosted in partnership with local nonprofits Voces Unidas RGV and Creative ReUsArte, participants can join one of several social mending events and learn about the global fashion industry, upcycling techniques, what artists and scholars are saying, and how this is expressed and related to our geographical context. At the end of the project, we will be calling the community together to celebrate the work of 5 featured artists and the upcycled outfits remade by community members in a sustainable fashion event.
