COM/VERGE x LOOPTOPIA: Fashion Upcycling Around the World - LIVE panel talk & podcast recording
This November, Berlin turns into LOOPTOPIA - a decentralized city-wide festival where circular economy stops being a concept and becomes something you can actually walk into, for 48 hours. COM/VERGE is one of the stops.
COM/VERGE by RIVED stands for community and convergence: a platform for the global fashion upcycling movement, built around three activations - a podcast, editorial content, and a global upcyclers summit. For LOOPTOPIA, we're recording a podcast episode live, on camera, in front of an audience for the first time - one more stop on the way to that summit.
Hosted by Angie Aguirre, founder of tHERAPY Recycle & Exorcise Berlin, four international upcyclers living in Berlin join an interactive panel to zoom out from our city and explore the bigger cultural story behind the upcycling movement worldwide. Panelists are selected through a separate open call on our own channels, for a genuinely global mix.
Made for anyone curious about fashion upcycling and where it comes from around the world.
Free registration, first come first served. The exact venue will be confirmed to registered guests closer to the event. Seats are limited, and doors close once we start recording.
