Our December favorites:
Exhibition: HOPECHEST2090
10 DEC – 12 DEC 2021
It is the year 2090. Textile is the most precious possession in a person’s lifetime. After the 2030 climate disasters, the western part of the Netherlands has disappeared under sea levels. A new Wadden island emerged and it’s called Zaankogerland.
Together with TextileLab Amsterdam, designer Teresa van Twuijver researches the production and processing of textiles on the island of Zaankogerland in the year 2090. The research includes materials, designs, patterns, digital fabrication, handmade crafts and new manifestations of local dress. The project is about showing prototypes of the items that in 2090 are produced, worn and used on Zaankogerland and it explores the social and cultural impact of new technologies based on the values of open, fair and inclusive.
HOPECHEST2090 is a sample archive and style room of homemade, locally produced textiles. This new heritage is generated by digital technologies. The exhibition HOPECHEST2090 is here to inform and inspire people about new and potential developments in textile and fashion.
The documentary showcases the endless cycle of overproduction, overconsumption, and the discard of millions of clothing items, and ways to counteract this.
FULL CIRCLE can therefore be seen as a call to consumers, the fashion industry, and the government to team up to stand against this polluting cycle and find creative ways to work with the already existing clothing.
Sign up here to watch the première of the documentary live at Lena’s Library or watch it on YouTube.
Location: Westerstraat 174h, Amsterdam
