Renew Earth Sweat Shop: Making Fashion Sustainable
For a small country, Singapore produces tonnes of fashion waste. Many have stepped up to thrift and purchase pre-loved goods at secondhand stores. Renew Earth Sweat Shop is contributing to that initiative of sustainability. 80 participants upcycled 200kg of fashion waste over four months, and some of the resulting pieces will be showcased at the pop up and are available for sale. You can also try your hand at weaving, using an industrial sewing machine, or participate in the community sorting house.

Experience the multi-award winning theatrical phenomenon – La Clique – opening this September. The first long-running production with an international cast to take the stage at Marina Bay Sands since the circuit breaker last April boasts a 15-year stellar record of sold-out shows around the world.
