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

A big THANX! to media artist Andreas Zingerle who helped me with the arrangements, when I could not make it to the states.

Here some Killer Fashion Revolution images from the festival! The Human Rights arts Festival was arranged by Amnesty International USA and took place 23-25.4.2010 in Silver Spring, Maryland, USA.
