Festival 2017
(re)plan(t) our future
Recycled Creativity Festival vol.9 - a moment to stop, time to confront ourselves with our own waste, an opportunity to get out of the pink shiny social media bubble to meet and exchange with people like you, searching for the roots, redefining the purpose, future and alternatives of the wasted and forgotten materials, and sharing tips and tricks on how to get closer to achieving the challenge of the wasteless life.
Using sustainable lifestyle and green consumerism as an excuse, we have given up own voice, and therefore shifted own responsibility to those who seem to be lost in the halls of power, doubting climate change, pollution and, probably, planet Earth in the first place. There is a little reason to believe that the shiny sustainable lifestyle and green consumerism is gonna save the world. Bio bananas in an upcycled textile bag from the local designer shop will not erase the footprint we have already left in our oceans, woods, rivers and bodies.
We have a lot ahead us - not only to upcycle all that waste lying around, but also to take an action and stop disposable packaging, foodwaste, find the way out of this waste society. Breaking the habits and upcycling the system might sound radical, but the only time we have is now.
There are many questions, but few answers. This year Recycled Creativity Festival for the 9th time will bring together thinkers and doers, trash lovers and craftivists, artists and community spirits for 3 days festival to explore, how to lay foundation for the bright future using what we have and what we know. And after all - time to exercise our hands and minds, empower ourselves and the community!
