“Your shirt makes sense”
Live silkscreen-printing in cooperation with Triodos Bank. The event’s motto: “More Green. Less Greed.” invites anyone to embellish and enrich their vintage clothing with new prints and patterns. So, let’s see what’s lurking in the back of your wardrobe! Those who forget to bring an old item may purchase a T-shirt at the event.

 

Spatial installation
On the fair’s opening day, visitors are invited to observe the work-inprogress of an encompassing installation created by Klub7, 44flavours and Clemens Behr. While the latter follows in the footsteps of performance art, creating in front of a live audience, to build large-format objects that remain in place throughout the trade fair, the artists behind Klub7 and 44flavours will embellish his output with graphics and illustrations to create an overall work of urban art.

The entire process will be set to music by internationally renowned musician Robot Koch who promises to make the most of his sounds and decks to herald the trade fair’s GET TOGETHER.

 

“Create Green breakfast”
Wolfgang Grupp, founder of Trigema, and Mona Ohlendorf, designer at Trigema Change, will join Silke Bücker (editor-in-chief of Vice TM) and trade fair organiser Magdalena Schaffrin in a public panel discussion. The resulting Create Green breakfast is a cooperation with Create Berlin. Please register for this event at fruehstueck@ethicalfashionshowberlin.com.
