The possibilities for materials are endless, and anyone can be a designer. Cash prizes are awarded to the most riveting designs by a community vote. The Trashion Show challenges those involved to use creativity to approach unique solutions, interact with their neighbors of all ages, and bring to life the history of their town.<\/p>\n<h4>Who is involved?<\/h4>\n<p>South End neighborhood groups and Waterville art and history organizations organize the event. They plan residencies of artists and local historians in Waterville schools and manage event logistics.<\/p>\n<p>Community members, young and old, form teams to create outfits and share their perceptions of place. A strong group would be a patient quilter who has lived in the neighborhood for decades, an observant young collector, and a fashion-inspired teenager.<\/p>\n<h4>What issues does it address?<\/h4>\n<p>To some, the South End appears disorderly and neglected. Numerous residents are unable to pay for trash disposal, so garbage accumulates in yards or is dumped illegally. This leads to <strong>aversion<\/strong> and <strong>stigmatization<\/strong> of the neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>The South End neighborhood was once a thriving French-speaking working-class enclave, but when the mills closed,<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0social networks largely dissolved, leaving <strong>fragmented community<\/strong> <strong>and history<\/strong> behind.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-57 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-large'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/trashion-show\/769628_809350-20171021-colby-sou2\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"994\" height=\"671\" src=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/769628_809350-20171021-Colby-Sou2-e1513039859356.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"South End Clean Up\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/769628_809350-20171021-Colby-Sou2-e1513039859356.jpg 994w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/769628_809350-20171021-Colby-Sou2-e1513039859356-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/769628_809350-20171021-Colby-Sou2-e1513039859356-768x518.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-333'>\n\t\t\t\tDumpsters quickly filled with garbage at this South End clean-up, in October of 2017.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/trashion-show\/23736065_872903839534895_2676132458811455598_o\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/23736065_872903839534895_2676132458811455598_o-e1513039825597-1024x690.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"The annual National Night Out in Green Street Park is an existing community celebration in the South End.\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/23736065_872903839534895_2676132458811455598_o-e1513039825597-1024x690.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/23736065_872903839534895_2676132458811455598_o-e1513039825597-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/23736065_872903839534895_2676132458811455598_o-e1513039825597-768x517.jpg 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/23736065_872903839534895_2676132458811455598_o-e1513039825597.jpg 1710w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-373'>\n\t\t\t\tThe Green Street Park is an central South End place for community celebration.\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<h2>Goals<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Celebrate the manufacturing history of the South End<\/li>\n<li>Develop art through neighborly, collective interaction<\/li>\n<li>Empower South Enders to enact creative solutions<\/li>\n<li>Improve South End livability: revive appearances and pride<\/li>\n<li>Recalibrate the energy generated by investing in community action projects<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_412\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-412\" style=\"width: 1735px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-412 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.27.07-PM-1-e1513096743791.png\" alt=\"Trashion Show Runway\" width=\"1735\" height=\"837\" srcset=\"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.27.07-PM-1-e1513096743791.png 1735w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.27.07-PM-1-e1513096743791-300x145.png 300w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.27.07-PM-1-e1513096743791-768x370.png 768w, https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/files\/2017\/12\/Screen-Shot-2017-11-20-at-12.27.07-PM-1-e1513096743791-1024x494.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1735px) 100vw, 1735px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-412\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Community members gather in Twisp, Washington, to attend the 2017 edition of their community Trashion Show<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>How is this event paid for?<\/h4>\n<p>Ticket sales pay for rental costs and generate profit, to benefit a local arts or youth organization, such as the South End Teen Center, or an action project, like a neighborhood clean-up or mural.

they worked. Narrow streets and dense housing were characteristic of the area between the Kennebec River and the Messalonskee stream\u2014The South End. Businesses were abundant and this area became an independent, French-speaking, working class community. The Lockwood Mill complex housed, during various years, the Lockwood Cotton mill and the Hathaway shirt factory.\nWomen played a large role, as weavers and spinners at the Lockwood and as stitchers at the Hathaway, though more prestigious positions were filled by men. Early on, it was not uncommon for even young children to work in the mills. \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<!-- \/module plain text -->                    <\/div><!-- .tb-column-inner -->\n                            <\/div><!-- .module_column -->\n            \t    <\/div><!-- .subrow_inner -->\n\t<\/div><!-- .themify_builder_sub_row -->\n\t                    <\/div><!-- .tb-column-inner -->\n                            <\/div><!-- .module_column -->\n            \t    <\/div><!-- .row_inner -->\n\t<\/div><!-- .module_row -->\n\t<\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a tribute to their past, South End neighbors and supporters come together for a recycled fashion Trashion Show to benefit urban cleanup and instill neighborhood pride.

immigrant families.\nAs a growing French-Canadian population migrated to Waterville in the latter half of the 18th century, they settled within walking distance of the factories where they worked. Narrow streets and dense housing were characteristic of the area between the Kennebec River and the Messalonskee stream\u2014The South End. Businesses were abundant and this area became an independent, French-speaking, working class community. The Lockwood Mill complex housed, during various years, the Lockwood Cotton mill and the Hathaway shirt factory. Women played a large role, as weavers and spinners at the Lockwood and as stitchers at the Hathaway, though more prestigious positions were filled by men. Early on, it was not uncommon for even young children to work in the mills.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8663"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57"}],"version-history":[{"count":70,"href":"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":473,"href":"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/57\/revisions\/473"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/web.colby.edu\/urbandesigncoop\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
