*Open Call* Disrupt black Friday

THE BACKGROUND

In 2017 Greenpeace launched MAKE SMTHNG Week - a global campaign that uses maker-power to replace shopping with creativity and community spirit.

Every day billions of new products are made, sold and thrown away in a vicious cycle of resource plunder and needless waste. From fashion to food, from plastics to technology, companies constantly encourage us to “buy, buy, buy!” and to judge ourselves by the products we own. Every piece of plastic produced in the last 60 years still exists. Our electronics are designed for the dump and for our clothes what is on trend today ends up in the trash tomorrow. Just one look at our warming planet, our polluted rivers or our oceans choked by plastic will tell you we have gone too far.

But together we can MAKE CHANGE NOW.

Check out above: Greenpeace display art installation made by artist Philip Sambalao with a title "After Death" that is made from thousands of pieces of electronic waste, such as mobile phones, during a Car Free Day event at the business district in Jakarta. Greenpeace Taipei's Trash Queen “Buy Nothing Day" Street Performance on the weekend after Black Friday with a 2.5 meter tall woman performer on stilts who wears a dress made of recycled clothingand a shopaholic squad with a sign that reads “Today’s Fast Fashion Tomorrow’s Garbage”.

MAKE SMTHNG Week is an annual global week of fun, hands-on activities and events – coinciding with Black Friday and the start of the Christmas shopping season, it hacks a mega-moment for consumerism and brings together makers, designers, artists, activists, knitters, upcyclers and people like YOU to show another way is possible.

With a DIY spirit and that unbeatable maker attitude we will reinvent the way we produce and consume: sharing, repairing, upcycling, reusing, recycling, designing, making. MAKE SMTHNG is a showcase for creative, innovative and unique alternatives. Instead of shopping, let’s MAKE SMTHNG!
