MELBOURNE DESIGN WEEK 2022

Redesigning Waste: Pocket Politics Edition

Future Archive is the research-based project of RMIT BA Fashion Design graduate Melanie Read. Through the act of archiving discarded fashion items, Future Archive strives to understand contemporary consumer culture and explore possible outcomes that reassign value to materials otherwise deemed as waste.

Presented as part of Melbourne Design Week 2022, ‘Redesigning Waste: Pocket Politics Edition’ invites us as a group to come together to explore our pockets and the idea of pocket satisfaction. Participants are invited to bring along an example of a problematic pocket from their wardrobe for discussion and design an ‘intervention’.

Together we will question whether there is a universal ideal pocket to offer 100% pocket satisfaction, or if pocket satisfaction is in fact subjective.
