Re-Imagining Ladies Tights

Re-Imagining Ladies Tights Akleriah/Platform-7 explore the politics of ladies tights through re-appropriating the material to

Every week millions of pairs of ladies tights are consigned to the bottom drawer or the bin. A large number contain nylon, a non-biodegradable material that often ends up in landfill. The project considers the role tights play within society and look towards ways of re-imagining them so more are reused, repurposed or recycled. Initially commissioned by the London Borough of Lewisham in 2013 to raise awareness of textile recycling, with funding support from Arts Council England, Anna Kompaniets, Lenka Horakova and Platform-7 set out to discover the politics of tights recycling by collecting old tights. During 2014 The Royal Central School of Speech & Drama MA Music Theatre and the London borough of Camden become the latest collaborators on the Tights Ball journey with interventions on the streets of Camden, used tights can be donated in boxes across the borough, before being re-purposed through free workshops and becoming part of a major musical performance, with working bin truck from Veolia Environmental Services
