Wexford’s Material World exhibition invites public to ‘leave a message’ for Mother Earth to rethink fashion waste The Wexford founder of The UpCycle Movement is hoping to make students more aware of the relationship between clothing and waste.

MATERIAL WORLD IS ON TOUR! 🙌✨️

Material World has officially begun its tour of Wexford and Waterford!
The exhibition centres around a large textile globe created from discarded clothing and journey's through an interactive clothes rail. The thought-provoking textile and climate action exhibition explores some of the challenges within our current system - while focusing on creativity and the possibilities of change.

The exhibition highlights what we can do — with action stations of ideas and inspiration for repairing, caring for, upcycling and reimagining our clothes. What if we design with the future in mind from the start?..

I’ve also developed facilitated school tours which will be taking place during the tour to bring the themes to life through discussion, investigation and demonstrations, as well as artist talk evenings offering an opportunity for groups and communities to come together, explore the exhibition and continue the conversation.

There is still some availability for both school tours and artist talk evenings throughout the tour. If your school, community group or organisation would like to take part in one of the factilitated sessions, please get in touch with me to book. Email [email protected]
These are free to attend.

📍 7–11 & 14–17 September — Wexford County Hall
📍 19–26 September — Waterford Central Library
📍 29 September–3 October — Dungarvan Library
📍 6–10 October — Gorey Library

The exhibition is FREE, open to everyone and can be visited during venue opening hours — no booking needed to come explore in your own time.
And while you're there, you’re invited to leave your own Message to Mother Earth as part of the installation. 🌍💚

Thanks so much to Wexford and Waterford County Council's for supporting this tour and enabling it to happen ✨️🙏
And to and for joining me in facilitating the school tours and evening sessions 🧵✨️

Hope to see you there! 🌎
