CYCLES, a visual journey, exploring the topic of Circularity through culture, dance, music & fashion. We know we need to move towards a more holistic and circular understanding of the world in order to live within the means of our planet. But what does circularity really mean? How can we embrace it through fashion, through music, through dance, through culture? With this film we want to explore the idea of circular culture. By uniting different fields of artistry under the topic of circularity, we created a visual essay that can help us understand our circular nature. The film is planned to be released mid-end August.

We have created a week long day summer camp and workshops geared towards kids ages 8-12. Using different themes on the environmental and social implications of the fast fashion industry, we want to educate kids about where their clothing comes from, who makes it and in what conditions, and what happens to it at the end of the life cycle. We have partnered with a Canadian non-profit organization called Fashion Takes Action to use some of their educational materials, and will also include textile arts projects so that kids can practice some techniques, get creative, and develop an appreciation for the work that goes into what we wear.
