“In post-industrial Hong Kong, the landfills are close to capacity, neighbouring mainland China has closed the door on importing recycling from other countries and consumer purchasing fervour shows no signs of slowing down in the region.
‘reFashioned’ follows the stories of three entrepreneurial innovators taking steps to motivate the fashion industry to evolve in the face of such adversity.” – from refashioned webpage.
“Peruvian textiles are omnipresent in the lives of indigenous people; generations of weavers have invented techniques and designs found nowhere else in the world. But this identity is at risk. A globalized market economy that produces cheap products destroys respect and interest in the hand-made and infringes on the intellectual property rights of native peoples. The Center for Traditional Textiles of Cusco exists to aid in the survival of these textile traditions. This short film presents some of these weaving communities and includes special celebrations and ceremonies, rituals with the animals (llamas and sheep), natural dying processes, weaving and knitting demonstrations, and much more.” – from Kanopy webpage.
