Inventing Remida Portland Project

Inventing Remida Portland Project Inventing Remida Portland invites you to explore how reuse materials can be given new life and purpose through the creativity of the citizens of the city.

This work is inspired by the Remida Reggio Creative Recycle Center in Italy, which works with city waste management, schools, educators, interested city inhabitants and local manufacturers to collect discards and by-products for rescuing from landfills and incinerators. Inventing Remida Portland is our way of introducing this language of use and reuse to our local community. By engaging in this im

aginative process of expression through discard materials, we are inspired to let creativity and reinvention loose in the hands of young children. We are learning together to facilitate a change in the culture of consumption at a young age.

“The focus, in fact, is on giving value to discard materials, imperfect products, and seemingly worthless objects in order to reinvent their use and provide new opportunities for creativity and communication.”
-Antonella Spaggiari, Mayor or Reggio 1991-2004

"For all the children,the time spent exploring was long, almost expanded, in what seemed to us to be the alternating rhythms of learning: nearing and distancing, entering and exiting, pausing and accelerating" (Reggio Children, 2004, p. 21)
