Art against unfair labor in fashion

Diana Heuss

Diana wanted to raise awareness about fair textile production, consumption behavior, and modern slavery, and to get people to think about their own influence when buying clothes. She created an art installation at her university cafeteria in Germany showing the true price of clothes. Small posters gave facts about the issues and questions for people think about like "who picked the cotton for my T-shirt?" She also informed people about an event on the topic. "The situation does not only concern people far away; it is as close to us as it can be," Diana says. "I would like people to think about where their clothes come from and which stores they are supporting, if they really need everything they buy and what everyone can do to make a change."
