Creative workshops: Fabric stories - about globally moving materials:
Fashion moves us all - every day!
But fashion is not just fashion. "Fast fashion" means that clothes are designed at lightning speed and sold cheaply - but often at the expense of people and the environment, especially in countries of the Global South.
We want to take a closer look! From Friday, August 29 to Sunday, September 21, 2025, the exhibition "Stoffgeschichten - Über global bewegte Materialien" will open its doors at Villa Metzler (next to the Museum Angewandte Kunst).
What is actually behind cotton, leather, wool, polyester & co. How are these materials created, what traces do they leave behind - and what sustainable alternatives are there? The exhibition takes you on an exciting journey around the world of textiles - from classic fabrics to materials of the future.
Workshops and guided tours invite you to see fashion with different eyes and become active yourself - for more sustainability in everyday life!
The exhibition was created in collaboration with the Akademie Mode&Design (AMD) in Munich and has already visited various locations in Germany as a traveling exhibition. Its main aim is to encourage people to think and motivate them to experience fashion more consciously.
There is a clothes swap pole on site: bring along clothes in good condition and freshly washed, swap them and be happy!
Friday, August 29: Short guided tour (approx. 30 minutes) at 3+4+5 p.m. without registration.
Saturday, August 30: Short guided tour (approx. 30 minutes) at 3+16+17 pm without registration.
Sunday, August 31: Short guided tour (approx. 30 minutes) at 3+16+17 pm without registration.
The event is organized by the Mainz branch of Engagement Global in cooperation with Lust auf besser Leben, Fashion Revolution and the Fairtrade Frankfurt coordination office as part of the Development-Related Education in Germany (EBD) programme.
