Even clothes from once-reliable sources barely last one year before ripping, nubbling, or straight-up disintegrating. How to fight the constant enshittification of products? Through three basic well-known rules: reduce, reuse, recycle. The Museum of Human Achievement makes it simple. Reduce by cleaning out your closet. Reuse by learning simple mending techniques from Corinne Loperfido and incredible sewists and designers Lauren Gray, Aaron Torres (Sleep, Never), and Leticia Gomez. They’ll also have a collaboration station to help folks transform that bland shirt or jacket into a one-of-a-kind work of art. If there’s clothes that don’t satisfy no matter what? Recycle with the swap portion of the event. It’s easy AND fun! – Cat McCarrey
