Even if the ash cloud over Europe delayed my trip to Washington DC for 3 days I still made it there and had 4 great days in Silver Spring and Washington. Hop-on-hop-of workshops were arrange at the Human Rights Arts Festival in Silver Spring, USA. About 40 participants took part in crafting and talking about ethical fashion. The workshops were held just by the installation and it worked well as a discussion opener. More about the festival and workshops at Killer Fashion Revolution -Wiki

5.7.2009 Killer Fashion Revolution concept was presented at OPEN 2009 Symposium arrange by Media Lab University of Art and Design Helsinki http://mlabsymp.uiah.fi/2009/. The presentation was in the form of an video. I also participated in the panel discussion of the Making Openness track in the Art and Museums session.
The two day symposium was very interesting presenting divers points of views of what openness can be. Openness was also a goal of the arrangers; the paper and video review process was made open, the symposium was video streamed on-line, Qaiku comments where projected for presenters and other symposium participants and conclusions where written collaboratively on-line.
Here is the video presentation made for this happening, reflecting on how KFR can be seen as a project that promotes openness.
