Zwirn & Zement - Kleidertauschfestival im Kulturbunker

In the organizer's words:

Clothes swap festival in the Kulturbunker

Clothes swap, workshops, repair café and more!

Did you know that around 160 billion items of clothing were sold worldwide in 2020? In Germany, almost a fifth of these remain unworn in the wardrobe - a huge mountain of textiles that ekes out a silent existence in the dark. Time to change that!

Free your favorite unworn items and bring them to the clothes swap - for more sustainability and a breath of fresh air in your closet!

What you can expect:

(We will publish the exact program later)

👚 Clothes swap
Swap your unworn clothes for new favorites! Bring up to 5 clean items in good condition and take whatever you like. No money - just style and fun!

🧵 Workshops
Whether it's knitting for beginners, leatherworking or creative upcycling projects - you can discover and try out new craft skills at our workshops (on a donation basis).

🛠️ Repair corner
Learn how to save your broken jeans, sew buttons back on or breathe new life into old clothes. Together with our friends from LeihBar and Wir im Nordquartier, we'll show you how it's done. Simple, practical and sustainable.

🎨 Screen printing station
Our friends from Greenpeace will show you how to redesign old textiles with fresh colors and cool motifs.

🍹 Drinks & snacks
The Toré will provide you with delicious drinks and snacks. Perfect for a creative break in between before you browse through the clothes racks for a second round.
