WORKSHOP — ECO-CONCEPTION KINSHASA, DRC 🇨🇩
$5 budget.
A random draw.
A commitment.
Beyond upcycling, this workshop was about repair —
repairing materials, but also reconnecting with one’s own story, identity and creative voice.
Each participant developed a personal direction through constraints, process and conceptual thinking.
From waste to silhouettes.
A selection of their pieces — more to come.
Grateful to Kobo Fashion, its team, and all the participants for this shared moment.
Transmission is at the core of my practice.

TEXTILE ARTWORK
RECLAIMED INNER TUBES
This installation explores transmission through making and participatory gesture.
Developed during a collective moment at Mains d’Œuvres, Saint-Ouen.
Thank you to everyone who helped bring this piece to life.
Special thanks to the organising collectives @lesecondmarche and @meigma.collectif , to @mathieuchabaneixamor , @guerg_chaudron , @onemorekim88 , @pham_cecile , Pauline @parthesis_ , @amstounkart , @theophile_brient and @claire_underscore_marine / @lacycklette for the innertubes — and of course to all the participants who contributed through their gestures.
The piece will continue to evolve.

Installation — Olga Pham Studio
Carte Blanche — @mainsdoeuvres , Saint-Ouen
Invited by @meigma.collectif and @lesecondmarche
Originally invited to present garments and accessories, I chose to extend the proposal and explore the artistic dimension of my practice.
Working with reclaimed materials — inner tubes, bike parts, can tabs — the installation brings together gesture, transformation and material experimentation.
Between fashion, textile structures and installation, the work reflects a multidisciplinary approach where discarded materials are collected, cut, woven and assembled into new forms.

New pieces emerging.
Mostly made to order.
Some will appear tomorrow.
I’ll also be weaving recycled inner tubes live —
building a growing wall piece throughout the day.
Come watch the process
and step into this strange material world.

Olga Pham Studio est un laboratoire de création où l’upcycling devient un langage. Ici, les matières délaissées trouvent une nouvelle forme, guidées par l’expérimentation et le savoir-
faire artisanal. Chaque pièce naît d’un dialogue entre accident et intention, entre passé et futur. Plus qu’un processus, c’est une vision : celle d’une mode libre, consciente et affranchie
des cadres établis.
