How can textile art and crafts help restore the health of our planet? What role do biodesign and innovative textile practices play in promoting sustainability? Can we move beyond the symbolic in art to design systems of real change while remaining within the realm of aesthetics? How can we rethink our relationship with discarded materials and environmental responsibility? In this breakfast seminar we will delve into the intersection of textile art, craft, and environmental science, featuring artists and researchers whose work demonstrates the potential of textile practices to contribute to planetary health. The seminar will feature Carole Collet, Professor in Design for Sustainable Futures, Central Saint Martins UAL and artists Paola Torres Núñez del Prado and Leif Holmstrand.
