Junk Drawer
A creative reuse centre for the Algarve.
Creative reuse centres are community spaces that put the circular economy into practice by turning "junk" into material for artistic expression. A third place to meet, make and share — knowledge as much as materials — where nothing goes to waste and everything has its place.
We're working out how to start one as sustainably as possible, shaped by what our community needs and can offer. It began with a workshop at Fértil Fest: a brainstorm about these spaces, and a collage answering "What is a sustainable future for you?" No experience needed, open to all ages.
