As Project Upcycle returns for a special All-Stars edition this fall—and 3S Artspace celebrates its 10th anniversary—we’re curating a companion exhibition titledBackstitch.
A backstitch strengthens by doubling back before moving forward. This exhibit will reflect a shift in perspective, a breakthrough, or a reimagining of what's possible through newly designed work created by past Project Upcycle designers and judges. Together, the work will explore the question:What does it mean to design a way forward?
