The installation is dedicated to textile waste and is designed to draw attention to this problem.

In Kyrgyzstan, the problem of textile waste is very relevant, because the waste of garment industries is most often either burned by households for heating housing, or simply thrown into landfill by tons (both the first and the second are dangerous for the environment). Local eco-activists Bermet Borubayeva and Aimeerim Tursalieva will tell about the situation around textile waste and the results of their research on this topic during the event.
