The aim for The Rubbish Project is to raise awareness of environmental
issues in Cambodia, and the purpose of the fashion design competition, which
we have called "Bonghain Mode Khao Ao Stung Sangker".
We have named it after the Stung Sangker River and are thinking this year a
lot about water pollution in Cambodia. Each entry of fashion design will be
made from rubbish or found objects of any kind. So far we are happy we have
a very varied group of participants, among them is the staff of Rajana
Association of Cambodia ( www.rajanacrafts.org) and clients of the Cambodian
Women's Crisis Centre (www.cwcc.org.kh). Some local artists and expatriates
also are entering, including some young people.
Our inspiration came from a similar New Zealand competition called Trash to
Fashion which has been running for about 10 years there.
