SUSTAINABLE
2018-2019
The project featured costumes created from everyday upcycled materials and designed by Ms Elpie A. Malicsi from the Domestic Worker Empowerment Project at the University of Hong Kong. As a Filipino domestic helper in Hong Kong, Elpie’s costumes speak to the need for a more inclusive dialogue about sustainability, one that addresses the links between sustainability and labour rights, decent work and domestic workers’ creative contributions to Hong Kong culture.
This project was supported by the HKU Knowledge Exchange Fund granted by the University Grants Committee.
