In this episode, co-founder of Colèchi Piarvé Wetshi, fashion designer, filmmaker and Community Curator Rahemur Rahman and leading sustainability figure and author Orsola de Castro discuss coexistence, the importance of community-centred platforms and the need for interconnectivity, holistic support, diversity and lived experiences. Coexistence is a recurring topic of discussion in Trash Talk, referencing one of Trash Club’s pillars ‘People’.
Trash Club invites creatives from multidisciplinary practices from around the world to discuss what it means to be creative: the ups and downs and how our successes and failures shape who we are both personally and professionally.
