Runa Ray exhibits "Repurposing Fashion, Reimagining Peace" at the United Nations, transforming discarded fabrics into interconnected canvases, diverting textiles from landfills while giving people around the world a space to express messages of peace. These canvases take on new life as dresses—bringing together fashion, sustainability, and the universal message of peace. On behalf of Fashioning for Social Environmental Justice (FSEJ), the exhibition is endorsed by the United Nations University Institute for Water, Environment and Health.
