CULT-UP is a project of cultural upcycling.
It proposes new strategies to promote a critical discourse on the "cultural management" of waste and to valorize the practice of redesign/upcycling as a form of cultural heritage. The focus is on two types of "upcycled waste": inorganic (plastics) and organic (textiles).
More generally, CULT-UP aims to stimulate critical reflection, examine case studies, collect best practices, and propose a "white paper" to stakeholders on the strategies and benefits of upcycling.
