We collaborated with the amazing team at Bed Stuy Clothes swap, a community-based safety net for NYC residents. We helped them create an educational platform weaving circular fashion principles from Ghana into conversations and games about the fashion industry for their clothes swap event at the Brooklyn Museum. This resulted in the creation of this video, which was showcased within the space. It highlights the Oye Adie Yies of Accra, who are a testament to Ghana’s deeply entrenched cultural sustainability. Bed Stuy Clothes Swap collectively moves against the grain of New York’s hyper-capitalist systems that encourage over-consumption and the destruction of our environment, displace long-term community members, and exploit and subjugate Black and Brown communities.
