"There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness." Gandhi

You are invited to participate in Swap-O-Rama-Rama and be your our bosses. Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a giant clothing swap and DIY workshops exploring abstract and surreal reuse and creativity through the recycling of used clothing.

At Swap-O-Rama-Rama consumers are taught to be creators and this transformation takes place through the local talent in the community.

Swap-O-Rama-Rama is seeking artists of all calibers, recyclers and creatives of all kinds for the following roles: artist taught DIY workshops, designer run sewing stations, silk screening, reuse designers for a recycled fashion show, and sorters (get first dibs on clothes). Volunteers would also be greatly appreciated.

DIY Workshops: If you have a unique skill that transforms would-be trash into a figures, environments, objects or wearable items (clothing/jewelry/handbag etc) please consider bringing your project this to Swap-O-Rama-Rama in the form of a DIY workshop.

Sewing Station: If your a whiz behind a sewing machine, consider being a Swap-O-Rama-Rama designer helping people learn to modify the used clothing they find at the swap.

Silk Screen Crew: If your a silk screener and would like to join the silk screening crew, offering your fresh designs to bring used clothes back to life, please get in touch!
