Padina Bondar: Refuse

A revolutionary approach to textile, fashion and sustainability.

Created using disposed materials, no longer destined for landfill.

Featuring works created by artist and designer Padina Bondar, this exhibition is what Padina describes as a display of magic that results in combining traditional tools and techniques with modern-day technology and engineering. From hand-spun plastic waste to couture quality bobbin lace and embroideries, weaves, knits, crochet, and embellishments made of disposed materials, this new narrative will challenge systems, change perspectives, and inspire change.
