Fashion is one of the largest and most impactful industries in the world. It employs, pollutes and touches human lives and planetary systems at a scale that is hard to fathom. In Redress we will explore and prototype in the spaces between fashion, sustainability and emerging (and vernacular) technologies. We will negotiate more than-human collaborations to investigate our impacts on human and more-than-human worlds. This course offers an immersive, hands-on exploration into the realm of biomaterials, where fashion not only meets the aesthetic and functional needs of people but also aligns with the principles of environmental stewardship and symbiosis with the Earth. Enrollment is by application.
