Join the Commune at RMIT

Does your motivation hit rock bottom when it gets to mid-week? RMIT’s Commune festival is set to make your Wednesday wonderful with all kinds of talks, workshops and activities around the themes of sustainability, technology and textiles. There are free lectures by Australian and international sustainable fashion gurus including the UK’s Dr Kate Fletcher and veteran Australian designer Linda Jackson, market stalls selling yummy food and fashion, and workshops in printing, natural dyeing, zero waste patternmaking and recycled jewellery, to name a few. So if you’re in Melbourne tomorrow, jump on your bike and head down Brunswick way!
