FUTURE SHOCK
FUTURE SHOCK TURNS TOWARDS CREATIVES AND PROFESSIONALS WORKING IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY. RATHER THAN BLAMING THE INDIVIDUAL, THIS WORK SEEKS TO PROVOKE A CONVERSATION AMONGST PEOPLE FROM THE INDUSTRY, USING CREATIVITY TO SHOW THAT A JOINT EFFORT CAN LEAD THE WAY FOR CHANGE. FUTURE SHOCK CONNECTS ACTORS FROM DIFFERENT UNIVERSES TO EXCHANGE AND TO BUILD A COMMON NARRATIVE TOWARDS A NEW ERA.
THIS VISUAL ESSAY CONSISTS OF A SERIES OF SCULPTURES MADE FROM MATERIALS THAT CONTROVERSIALLY ARE CONSIDERED AS WASTE, PHOTOGRAPHS AND VIDEOS UNITING PROGRESSIVE CREATIVES, DEDICATING THEIR TIME AND VISION TO RAISE AWARENESS ABOUT THE REALITY OF OUR DISTORTED RELATION TO MATERIALS AND THE FRENETIC RHYTHM OF CREATION IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY.
THE PROJECT WAS PRESENTED TO PROFESSIONALS OF THE FASHION INDUSTRY AT THE FONDATION FIMINCO AND TO OPEN PUBLIC AT DOVER STREET MARKET 3537. AN IMMERSIVE ART INSTALLATION DEMONSTRATING THE POWER OF CREATIVITY, QUESTIONING WHAT WE DEFINE AS TRASH AND CHALLENGING THE REAL MEANING OF CLOTHING WITH THE INTENTION TO OPEN A DIALOGUE AND SHOW THE IMPORTANCE OF CREATIVITY WHEN FACING TODAY’S ISSUES.

SUPPORTING
With Future Shock we are supporting OR FOUNDATION and their programme “Our Long Recovery” which aims to break the cycle of exploitation and dependency that corrupts the secondhand ecosystem and traps people in debt in Ghana.
OR works to tangibly regenerate and decompose material resources that currently leave Kantamanto Market drowning in toxic waste. In addition, the foundation fosters Food Sovereignty for women working as Kayayei-women that quite literally carry their burdens on their head. More info here.
