Core members of STREETWARE saved item are barbara caveng, an interdisciplinary working visual artist with a focus on three-dimensional artistic practice, participatory art, interventions and performance and Alice Fassina, a costume designer, whose artistic approach and work methods are based on sustainability and circular economy.
Our team counts members from different fields, such as theater, activism for people in need, journalism, handcraft, fashion, cultural education, entrepreneurship, performing art.
The common goal of the whole team is to contribute to a fundamental, inclusive social debate about economic power and the collateral social and ecological effects, to learn and unlearn colonial ways of thinking and to create new approaches to solutions. We hope to raise awareness about this complex issue through the face-to-face encounter and interaction of a wide variety of contributors and experts. We believe that insight and empathy can serve as an impulse for a change in habitual consumer behaviour.
