In its third phase, Jan‘s work typically attempts to give a new life to the previously scavenged textiles by engaging them in public performative practices, such as public washing ceremonies, drag karaoke, or street performances giving the clothes anew to interested people in local communities. His aim in such performances is not simply to ‘give back’ the clothes to the places from which they originated, but, more crucially, to give them back in a way that is more receptive to the hierarchical and unequal interplay between ‘giver’ and ‘receiver’ that is traditionally upheld by international charity organizations. In short, these performances become a way of giving-otherwise.
