With the Finissage, we have invited prominent photographers, stylists, and writers on the Amsterdam scene to contribute to three panels. How can stylists act as connectors between pop-culture and sustainability? How is the image of pop-culture captured through photography, and how can we incorporate sustainability into these mechanisms? How can we write sustainability into pop-culture? Those are some of the questions that the panels will explore. 

The program will finish up with some tunes, visuals by Aida Ra Mana, drinks and bites and a clothing swap. So come prepared with max. 3 of your best quality clothing items to swap and give your wardrobe an update! Please keep in mind that swap items must be washed and undamaged to be able to participate, we also won’t be accepting underwear.
