When it comes to hip-hop legends, far too many have passed on. No doubt, Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac or Big L would find lots to rhyme about in 2016 and 2017. I bet 2Pac, for one, would have some pretty powerful things to say about a Trump presidency. Unfortunately we’ll never have a chance to find […]

Now in its seventh year, Rubbish Renewed Eco Fashion Show tasks local artists, designers and makers to create wearable art from stuff that might have otherwise been thrown away.
