About the practice
Angie Aguirre’s work begins from a clear proposition: textile waste is not simply an operational problem, but a design flaw. Through tHERAPY Recycle & Exorcise, she puts that idea into practice, using upcycling as both a creative method and a form of cultural intervention. Her practice connects hands-on material reuse with strategic thinking about fashion systems, supply chains and the language brands use to describe sustainability. Based in Berlin, Aguirre brings a Latin American perspective to European debates on circularity, regulation and post-growth fashion. She argues that sustainability cannot rely only on more efficient versions of existing models; it requires a radical redesign of value. Her work combines activism, education and practical innovation, making circular design accessible to brands, teams, students and public audiences. As a speaker and facilitator, she delivers keynotes on circular fashion, activism and the future of textile ecosystems, alongside workshops such as The Upcycling Lab, Anti-Greenwashing Lab and Circularity Health Check. Her recent public work includes an interactive upcycling activation at Lollapalooza Berlin 2026, panel discussions on rethinking value in fashion, and interviews exploring queer visibility, migration and identity through clothing.
