The UpcycleArt Village is part of an upcycling project by Participate in Design that involves local residents and the wider design community. On this day, there will be an exhibition of furniture pieces and everyday objects that have been collected, together with stories and ideas about them. The day-long event will also have upcycled craft workshops, performances, live music*, sharing by people from the creative community* and a short film screening*.
