“Wish you were here!” – Strategies for post-apocalyptic living.
Initially explore solutions for a world that is unfamiliar and that has been changed forever. Whether a natural or man made disaster occurred, mankind must not only try to survive but also continue to preserve a sense of community and culture. Under these extreme circumstances any development is a conflict between dignity and survival.
Brief:
After my initial research and exploration into this task, this is the apocalyptic scenario I am going to focus my work on.
A global financial crash has devastated the world’s economy as we know it. There is mass unemployment and high levels of crime. Money has completely lost its value. Trading between countries has slowed down, and people are bartering and trading between labour, skills and goods. There is no longer the need for cash, coins or credit cards. Money is worthless.
Mass-produced manufacturing is a thing of the past, life’s luxuries are no longer by any means affordable or available, and people have reverted to the re-use of objects and things becoming handmade. Re-use, Re-cycle & Up-cycle are the start of a new era.
I will create items of clothing from recycled products – using finance related items to make everyday essential & ‘luxury’ clothing.
