THE MARKET OF EVERYTHING

The Market of Everything aims to promote community involvement and support social sustainability through the exchange and recycling of our belongings. It hopes to match people who have things they no longer need with people who can use them. Throughout the week a program of performances, film screenings, open mic night, workshops, and gaming tournaments will accompany the Market. View the full schedule below, on the Traffic website or Facebook page.

All workshops are free. Please sign up on nina@viatraffic.org by stating the workshop name, your name and contact number.
