TARTAN MIND MEND
Mind Mend is an art therapy project with a sustainable focus. Its aim is to raise money for people suffering with mental health issues associated with lockdowns and Covid 19. Mind Mend is Tartan’s attempt to address two issues simultaneously: mental health and waste created by the fashion industry.
Tartan asked members of its extended creative community to re-purpose their excess samples, stock and seconds, with the hope of:
· Raising awareness of sustainable practices in the fashion industry and suggesting creative ways to tackle excess production.
· Soothing frazzled nervous systems with creative therapy and community connection.
· Supporting and promoting creative individuals and small businesses during lockdown.
· Raising money for mental health focussed charities.
Each collaborator was given a Tartan sample which they were invited to mend, patch, dye, re-construct, de-construct, shred, weave, knit, paint, draw, embroider, embellish, film, photograph or alter in any way that moved them. The re-imagined pieces will be showcased in store and online at Poepke. 100% of the proceeds from the items sold will be donated to the following charities.
