RiVestiTo is a project by Atelier Riforma, Mercato Circolare, and Huulke, carried out in collaboration with the City of Turin and funded by the Horizon Europe Climaborough project. Its goal is to make the collection of discarded textiles more efficient, foster a local virtuous circle of circular economy, and promote the reuse of goods before they become waste.

On Friday, July 25, Orti Generali will host the fifth edition of RiVestiTo Live, a series of community events organized by RiVestiTo to reflect on and raise awareness of the environmental and social issues tied to the textile industry, foster community connections, and promote conscious and ecological consumption practices.
Six events, one per month, exploring different circular practices and strategies to extend the life cycle of textiles.
After events dedicated to exchange, second-hand clothing, creativity, and care, this edition will focus on the theme of giving.
