modesTalka are actions during which participants help each other with ideas how to create new attires and accessories from no longer used articles of clothing and other items everyone can find in their homes. modesTalka focus both on the aspect of environment and creative thinking – instead of discarding unwanted things we can think how to put them to new uses, what new to create of them. Moreover we can work together with different people and learn from each other. modesTalka is based in several principles of joint creation: Sharing resources – let us clear out our wardrobes!; Sharing ideas – what is better, more interesting, more original and beautiful?; Sharing knowledge – how to do this or that?.
All willing to take were welcome to bring along the clothes and accessories they wished to remake.
