Through touch, observation and discussion, you'll discover how textiles connect us to heritage, identity, sustainability and the people who make them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than a formal lecture, this is a relaxed, interactive gathering where questions are encouraged and meaningful conversations unfold naturally.

Whether you're passionate about sustainable living, craftsmanship or simply curious about the world of textiles, you'll come away inspired to see the fabrics that surround you with fresh eyes—and perhaps make more thoughtful choices about the textiles you bring into your own life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKoryo Badeweyo Campbell is the founder and curator behind \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/brixtonvillage.com\/trader\/the-distance-travelled\/\"\u003eThe Distance Travelled\u003c\/a\u003e, a Brixton-based store and storytelling platform.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe stunning treasure-trove of artefacts from around the world also celebrates the founder’s British-African heritage and love of craft through thoughtfully curated collectable objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eInspired by journeys across the world with a focus on the African continent, The Distance Travelled is a concept store, exhibition space, and curated accommodation that shares the stories, cultures, and connections woven into every object.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.anisajohnny.com\/\"\u003eAnisa Johnny\u003c\/a\u003e is a former fashion educator turned strategic advisor.
