About the guest Marijke Bongers has spent her life working with textiles. She is an artist, a designer, a craftswoman, and an entrepreneur. She previously owned different businesses in fashion and textile, and recently became a fashion activist. She works on biodegradable outfits and installations in a concept or project way, using textiles and thread, and plant dyes in an earth-friendly way. She stopped buying new materials and uses only what is already available around, like not sold collections, own clothes, recycled linen of a hotel nearby and dye from the Willow tree or birch. Marijke organises and hosts an online textile recycle community project called New Opulence and participates in different exhibitions.
