Open Call: Oil Drip RitualÂ
Saying No to Fast Fashion –
A public intervention in Brussels
Picture: ai generated mock-up
It is estimated that there are already enough clothes on the planet to dress the next six generations. The more new clothes we buy, the more we send to landfill and the more microfibers pollute the air, waterways, and the ocean. Countries importing textile waste are already overwhelmed by mountains of discarded clothing. Synthetic fibres like polyester take hundreds of years to fully decompose. Yet, the industry keeps on increasing production.
Are you tired of the overproduction of fashion, which is suffocating the planet and the ocean and putting human health at risk?

How? As a participant in a living public intervention (no worries, no acting experience required! we will be quiet, standing still).
Details: we will perform an âOil Drip Ritualâ, exposing the hidden origins of synthetic fashion. The public performative intervention will be visually based on our campaign series Under Our Skin – Microplastics in Fashion. We will hold the activity on two dates:
- June 24, 11-12:00, Brussels Expo
- June 27, 13-15:00, Â Place de la Monnaie
Â
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the intervention is to create a counterweight to the Textiles Recycling Expo in Brussels. Our message: Recycling is not a solution for the plastic fashion crisis we are in. We demand systemic change to solve it!Â
