Stay and browse a while.

Bring something to swap. What will you end up wearing?

What is gained and what is lost in this cyclical exchange?

Juxtaposing, movement, text, video portraits and 100 bags of used clothing,

THE TRADESHOW is an immersive environment where audiences can browse, trade clothing, have fun, be entertained, play, eat, drink, reflect, and take action.
