Because of the change in the global economy and the availability of online technology, consumers are starting to share, lend, rent, and trade rather than buying new products. My work is inspired by this change in consumer culture because I genuinely believe that collaborative consumption is a step in the right direction towards a sustainable way of consuming – Instead of mass producing new products why can’t we just learn to share?
Now Consume is an exhibition of work by visual communication students from The School of Creative Arts & Design at the University of Wolverhampton and has been developed in response to issues around consumerism and material culture. Themes for discussion and visual enquiry include consumer debt, independent retailing, recycling, brand deconstruction, and over packaging.
