Buy Nothing - Swap Clothing

Sunday, November 25, 14:00 - 17:00

This weekend honours universal Buy Nothing Day and what better way to celebrate than to fuel a barter system and avoid money all together? Winter is showing its ugly head again and all of us could use a cost-efficient fashion makeover. Make someone else happy as well as yourself by exchanging your untouched favourite clothing for pieces you would rather own. Recycling wearables through exchange is a win-win deal!

Buy Nothing Day

Buy Nothing Day has been celebrated by concerned citizens since 1992. It is widely accepted as an international day to observe and protest the laws of consumerism. Mediamatic couldn’t be happier in welcoming you to come and revel in alternatives to consumerism at our exhibition centered around exchange. Our motto: Buy Nothing - Swap Something.

DUF Magazine

The Fabriek will also host activities (in Dutch) by DUF Magazine - an online community and print publication for the media-savvy - starting this Sunday at 15:00. The get-together will include an introduction of DUF’s new book which is intended for writers, columnists, photographers and illustrators. There will also be a quiz, speakers, and a poetry workshop.
