Saturday 19 October 2024, Wardrobe Revolution Weekend
14:00 - 17:00 BST (British Summer Time)
Online Symposium, hosted on Zoom
Our connection to clothing is deeply personal. Garments accompany us through life, offering warmth and protection while reflecting our inner selves outwardly as we navigate various experiences and environments. We cherish our clothes, altering, mending, and transforming them as our tastes and trends evolve. Recycling and reinventing garments is a longstanding practice, but today, the delicate balance of our relationship with clothing is under greater scrutiny as we confront critical climate challenges. This October, the Selvedge Wardrobe Revolution Weekend will offer a powerful response to the environmental and social damage wrought by the textile industry and fast fashion. Ten speakers will share their insights on addressing the Crisis in our Wardrobes
The roster of speakers includes textile practitioners, academics, historians, activists, filmmakers, designers and artists, each of whom approaches the environmental crisis from different perspectives and enriches the event with their unique story. The theme of this year's event is Things We Learnt on a Carpet at Kindergarten:
- Look after each other
- Put things back where you found them
- Don't take more than you need
