„Aus weggeworfener Kleidung vom Straßenrand macht die Schweizer Künstlerin Barbara Caveng wortwörtlich Streetware. Die kann man kaufen oder ausleihen.“, schreibt Manuel Aguigah in der TAZ vom 9.12.2021.
Der Journalist hat uns  am 19.11.2021 auf einer Tour begleitet und sich beim gemeinsamen Lumpensammeln  mit unseren Gäst:innen aus Uganda, die Autorin Beatrice Lamwaka und dem Fotografen Jim Joel Nyakaana unterhalten. Mit auf Tour war auch Lotti Seebeck, die nebenbei noch fotografierte.

STREETWARE X FASHION REVOLUTION

Fashion Revolution was founded in the wake of the Rana Plaza disaster in 2013 and it has become the world’s largest fashion activism movement, mobilising citizens, industry and policymakers through our research, education and advocacy work.

Fashion Revolution Week happens every year in the week coinciding with 24th April, the anniversary of the Rana Plaza disaster in Bangladesh. The Rana Plaza building housed a number of garment factories, employing around 5,000 people. The people in this building were manufacturing clothing for many of the biggest global fashion brands. The building collapsed and killed 1,134 people and injured more than 2,500 others, making it the fourth largest industrial disaster in history. The victims were mostly young women. During Fashion Revolution Week, we remember the lives lost and demand that no one should die for fashion. It is the time when we come together as a global community to create a better fashion industry. 

Streets are the places of revolution: steps on asphalt give sound to political manifestos. Decisions are forced by silent marches, fists are clenched to chanted slogans. We understand  fashion revolution  revolution as the challenge of not only reviewing our habitual thought patterns, production methods and consumer behaviour, but also of radically changing them.
