Have you ever wondered what happens to your clothing after you donate it? Fashion’s waste crisis is caused by compounded exploitation, not by a lack of recycling technology. Using Kantamanto Market in Accra, Ghana as a case study, this course will explore the nuances of waste colonization, offering a deep dive into the global secondhand clothing trade and why circularity must go beyond a materials-based framework to truly revolutionize the way we think about and “deal with” clothing waste.
