Post-Museum X Veronyka Lau continue to bring awareness to the growing issue of fashion waste with several new partners. In 2021 alone, Singapore produced over 189,000 tonnes of fashion waste. By creating micro-community spaces for people to gather to learn, to sew and upcycle together, Renew Earth Sweat Shop aims to galvanise a community to confront this huge problem. Beginning with the over-500kg of unwanted clothes amassed from swap shops, thrift stores, and green movement organisations, Season 3 will put waste towards a different and meaningful purpose.Renew Earth Sweat Shop is a community and participatory art project started in 2020 in response to the environmental impact and labour conditions linked to the global fashion industry.About Fashionably LateFridays, 19 August and 16 September6.30–9pmBetter late but fashionable.
