All the sessions are going to be amazing. We'll be sharing during Session 4.

SESSION 4: Clothing and Ecosystems: The Healing Potential of a Local Textile System

How might local clothing be just as important a consideration as local food? What is most of our clothing made of and why might it matter? How does circularity apply to our clothing choices? How can fashion be an entry point to remembering a connection to our land, other beings, ourselves, our past and our future? Join Jess Boeke and Sarah Pottle, co-founders of Rustbelt Fibershed, in conversation as we discuss these questions and more, ultimately focusing on how our clothing and textile choices have the potential to regenerate our earth, our health, our local community!

Presenters: Jess Boeke and Sarah Pottle, Co-founders of Rust Belt Fibershed
