Anti-Factory Bristol

Stephanie Syjuco (US) + Labour Behind the Label

Stephanie Syjuco presents a workspace in which visitors are invited to sort through used clothing (which would have been shipped to the 'Third World' after going through second-hand channels in the UK) and rework/remix with others from the pile. Interrupting the flow of cast-off garments (from overseas factory to First World, to second-hand, then back to the Third World), by repurposing them within the First World raises larger issues about systems of global trade, manufacturing and labour relations. The intention is to collectively produce a limited edition fashion line based on what is available from individual bales. The workshop space is animated by discussions led by Labour Behind the Label, a local activist group that supports garment workers' efforts worldwide to defend their rights.
