By reviving discarded items, recycling art to bring new beauty to each piece, and painting on mediums such as upcycled clothing and furniture using a variety of creative techniques, she interrogates and rejects the idea of disposability.
She set about examining her participation in damaging systems, and worked to figure out how to move differently: “Our lives are finite, and we need to think about what we create, how we craft our lives.
Fashion 4 Development (F4D) is a private sector global platform founded by Evie Evangelou in January 2011 in cooperation with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon to support the United Nations Millennium Development Goals and “Every Woman, Every Child”.
