Tradition and Community: Textiles Today

We meet textile innovators to explore the role of tradition and craft in supporting communities, building livelihoods, upholding traditions and conserving nature. Working in textiles, weaving, fashion and design, what brings these speakers together is their position at the intersection of tradition and contemporaneity, combining new and old, analogue and digital, and craft and industry in their processes.
