Tuchfühlung – From pure washing and colouring

Within a student project of the Zittau/Görlitz University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with Tierra – Eine Welt e.V. (Ulrike Kauf & Ulrike Rosemann), 13 students conceived and developed a travelling exhibition in the form of a wardrobe within 11 months.

In the compartments and drawers, the path of a piece of clothing from cotton seed to the old garment bag can be heard, seen and felt via ten installed listening stations and symbolic objects. Through the audio contributions and an accompanying booklet, visitors can learn about the impact of the global textile and clothing industry on people and the environment. They also gain insights into the alternatives for action and opportunities for engagement for us citizens in the consumer countries.
