Special EventSwap-O-Rama-Rama!“Swap-O-Rama-Rama is a clothing swap and series of do-it-yourself workshops in which a community explores creative reuse through the recycling of used clothing.” Saturday, December 15th Admission: At The Neighborhood Cup’s Swap-O-Rama-Rama, there will be a do-it-yourself stations as well as several local clothing designers to help you create new and exciting garments. There are no boundaries! You can pick out as many pieces of clothing as you want! Take it as is or create something new! Use beads, buttons, patches, lace, and so much more! Makes a great gift, too! LIVE MUSIC! There’s MORE!
Let’s get Swapping! 'There is no beauty in the finest cloth if it makes hunger and unhappiness.' Gandhi Swap-O-Rama-Rama utilizes the existing surplus of clothing to
create new-recycled goods, without consuming. Through hands-on
experience,
Swap-O-Rama-Rama invites the discovery that the making of things
is not an activity to be avoided in order to attain leisure,
but rather
a playful and leisurely endeavor unto itself. At Swap-O-Rama-Rama
objects are imbued with meaning as would-be trash is revivified
with authentic,
communal creativity and spirit. Repurposed garments are far less
likely to be kicked to the curb as garbage and so ultimately
Swap-O-Rama-Rama
not only reuses would be trash but sets in motion a way of living
that reduces textile waste. Swap-O-Rama-Rama invites us to
see each other
through shared creativity rather than through socio-economic status
