How can textile art and crafts contribute to restoring our planet’s health? What role do biodesign and innovative textile practices play in promoting sustainability? Welcome to a seminar about these critical questions, exploring the intersection of textile art, craft, and environmental science.
Through the lens of invited experts in the field, we will investigate how traditional and contemporary textile methods can drive ecological restoration. Our invited speakers will explore how fibers and fabrics can be harnessed to create a sustainable future and promote ecological balance, an engagement with pioneering approaches that blend art, science, and sustainability to address pressing environmental challenges.
The seminar will include Carole Collet, Professor in Design for Sustainable Futures, Central Saint Martins UAL. More speakers will be announced shortly.
The seminar will be in English and is free of charge, but registration is mandatory. Coffee and sandwiches will be provided.
The seminar is organised by the Artists’ Association of Sweden (Konstnärernas Riksorganisation) and the Public Art Agency Sweden (Statens konstråd) as part of Stockholm Craft Week.
