Each year, majority of the plastic waste in the ocean is coming from land. The solutions are in our hands, let’s get united to give waste a new life!
Under your eyes, what do you see between sustainability and art? Three talented artists from different backgrounds, SUITMAN, XEME and Go Hung, will be invited to blend in their creativity and share their inspirations about this contest. They will demonstrate the process that they worked closely with two university students to stimulate their art talents in designing the upcycling t-shirt with the concept of “give the waste a new life”.
Interested students are welcome to join the sharing to know more about the contest before application. For those who enter this contest are required to utilise waste to design the “we love the sea” t-shirt designed by agnès b and made of recycled material. The t-shirt will be provided by agnès b.
Top 10 will receive an agnès b. gift whereas best 3 t-shirt designs will be displayed in the “we love the sea” exhibition in agnès b. K11 RUE DE MARSEILLE flagship store from 17 Jun to 31 Aug.
