Singapore, 25 August 2021<\/strong> \u2013 Temasek Shophouse<\/a> and Post-Museum have partnered up to bring awareness to the growing issue of fashion waste with the second edition of the Renew Earth Sweat Shop<\/a>. In this second edition, the organisers want to tackle Singapore\u2019s enormous problem of fashion waste, with over 131,000 tonnes of waste produced in 2020, through upcycling. Their hope is to galvanise a community to confront the issue of fashion waste by creating micro-community spaces for people to gather to learn, to sew and upcycle together. They quickly amassed over 200kg of fashion waste from swap shops, thrift stores, and green movements, to put towards a different and meaningful purpose.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Renew Earth Sweat Shop is a community and participatory art project reacting to the environmental impact and labour conditions linked to the global fashion industry. In its first edition in 2020, over 100 participants came together, to sew, to learn and to contemplate the ripples our everyday actions have had on a planet that is becoming increasingly fragile. This is the second time organisers Post-Museum and visual artist Veronyka Lau have gathered a community under the Renew Earth Sweat Shop banner in COVID-19 conditions.

Industry market trends put \u201ctrashion\u201d or \u201crefashion\u201d as the trend to watch in the next few years. However, can this aesthetic capture a local audience? The participants of the Renew Earth Sweat Shop take up the challenge to find out. They begin experimentation with fashion deconstruction of discarded items into new designs.
