STYLE NV RAVE - Glocalisation Art Canvases

Those guys at Made.com are just so darn inspirational, aren't they?!


Collaborating with the Chelsea School of Art and the non-profit organisation Monkey Biz, that provide beads and beading materials to 450 women living with HIV in Cape Town, Made.com run a Glocalisation competition for Chelsea's students to design a series of wall panels using the traditional South African beading techniques. The entries were judges by Lucia Van der Poste, Nina Campbell and Made.com's Chloe Macintosh. The winners have had thier designs made up onto canvases and sold by Made.com. Some of the proceeds will go back to the winners and to Monkey Biz.
