Sustainable and inclusive: here is Gender Bender’s merchandising
This year Gender Bender began a collaboration with Malefatte Venezia, a cooperative that encourages the vocational rehabilitation for inmates of the men’s prison of S. Maria Maggiore
From Sept. 9 to Sept. 22, you can buy fabulous clutch bags, beautiful backpacks and PVC fanny packs
Following the topics of environmental sustainability and social responsibility, Gender Bender made backpacks, fanny packs and clutch bags by recycling PVC advertising banners from past editions of the festival. This was possible thanks to the collaboration with Malefatte Venezia, a cooperative that encourages the vocational rehabilitation for inmates of the men’s prison of S. Maria Maggiore. Items from the collection will be on sale during the festival at the Cassero LGBTI+ Center.
Where to find Gender Bender-Malefatte gadgets?
from September 9 to 22 at the Gender Bender InfoPoint at the Cassero LGBTI+ Center (via Don Minzoni 18, Bologna): Monday to Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m.
