Case study
Clothing the Gap

A Case Study on how a small organization was able to mobilize over 100 volunteers to create three structures entirely made from textile waste. The structures were created over 10 days inside an abandoned factory, each representing the average amount one person will consume over a lifetime. In less than a week they reached over 1M views online. This project was a prime example of cross sector collaboration, a mixing of the creative and circular economies.
