Be a part of this Psy-Geo-Provflux 2005 Event…
The Progressive Runway Project II A RIOTS Production: Friday 5.27.2005
Information Meeting on Tuesday 3.22.2005
Metcalf room 314 @ 8pm. Food will be provided…
Last May over fifty models, designers, and documenters participated the first Progressive Runway Project by marching through the arched corridors of the Providence Place Mall in clothing made from recycled materials. The Runway Project engaged the mall allowing patrons to view and question this consumer environment in new ways. Fun, excitement, and security followed the performance from beginning to end.
This year, the project will promote sustainability by making fashion more coherent with biking. This intervention will be fun and exciting for the participants in the project as well as Providence city-goers. With innovative design and action we can use fashion to make exploration and bicycle transportation trendy in Providence.
MODELS:
Be on the front line of fashion by traversing downtown Providence in trash haute couture. As a part of this bicycle runway, models will prove that fashion, function, and waste should always be combined.
PHOTOGRAPHERS:
Documenters will need to be creative because this fashion intervention takes place on two wheels…and there will be disregard for one way streets. Models will be riding at a slow pace but will traverse most of downtown. Be a part of the documenting crew and help organize the best way to record this event.
DESIGNERS:
Artists will use trash and other recycled materials to create garments specifically designed for bicycle utility. Designers must consider body mobility, bicycle restrictions, and innovative elements that may make cycling easier.
