Dedicated to critical cultural production at the intersection of art and activism.

We cover artists from around the globe whose work explores and realizes social change. Our goal is to provide a narrative about these activist efforts while simultaneously participating in them. Maintained by The Groundswell Collective since 2007.

fiftyRX3

Jill Danyelle conceived of fiftyRX3 as a “project in style and sustainability.” On film, she documented her outfits daily for a year, having set a goal of averaging fifty percent sustainability. She explored the relationship we have with our clothing, commenting on consumer culture with her own recycled pieces. The project also probed others’ conceptions of what we wear and how it represents us. Jill asked folks on the street about their perceptions of her, based on what she was wearing.

In her own words, she “took on the role of a green fashion promoter and advocate,” and knowing that she has inspired others to become more eco-conscious (especially about what they wear), she says, is the greatest compliment that she could have been paid for this project. Additionally, she was featured in I.D. Magazine for her recycled umbrella dress, below.

You can follow what she is up to at her personal website, or in her laboratory.

Thanks to Aaron for the link! Also, if anyone has photos of their recycled fashions, let me know!
