WARDROBE REVOLUTION WEEKEND

WARDROBE REVOLUTION WEEKEND

September 29, 2023
Share
We all have a relationship with garments. Garments journey with us, keeping us warm and protected, embodying our inner selves as outer expressions, as we navigate experiences and environments. Clothes are loved and cared for - altered, mended, and transformed as tastes and trends change - as well as exchanged and discarded.

Recycling and reinventing garments is not a new phenomenon but the careful balance of our relationship with clothes is becoming more widely interrogated as we approach important climate milestones. This October, the Selvedge Wardrobe Revolution Weekend will be an antidote to the environmental and social devastation caused by the textile industry and fast fashion. Twenty speakers will present their response to the Crisis in our Wardrobes.

Speakers include Justine Aldersey-Williams, a creative activist specialising in natural textile dyeing who is also the founder and voluntary coordinator of North West England Fibreshed; Amelie Crepy, an artist who combines her history as a digital print designer to replicate synthetic processes and digital techniques with natural pigments and traditional mediums; Jeremy Hutchison, the artist behind,  Dead White Man, which addresses the global trade in post-consumer garments, which are donated to charity in the Global North and sold across much of the Global South; Mario Serra of Mourne Textiles, a weaving mill in the Mourne Mountains, County Down, Ireland; Ashita Singhal of Studio Paiwand, a unique upcycling textile studio set-up to find beauty in bits and fragments, unwanted things in life, and adding value by repurposing those forgotten pieces.; and Sunny Dolat, an independent fashion curator, cultural producer and creative director. He centers his practice in making unapologetic statements about the beauty and dignity of black skin. 



Be part of the conversation and join us for the Selvedge Wardrobe Revolution Weekend on Saturday 4 November 2023.
