Considers the environmental costs of fashion and promising new sustainable techniques.
About this Event

Textiles and the fashion industry are a driver of environmental harms from toxic dye runoff to used garments piling up in landfills. While ‘fast fashion’ trends are the focus of most concern, the industry as a whole is far from sustainable, accounting for roughly 20% of worldwide water pollution and 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Speakers will survey the environmental costs of fashion and explore promising new sustainable techniques of creating pigments, colors, dyes, and fabrics through biological alternatives.


Event Speakers
  • Antía Iglesias, artist
  • Naomi Rosenkranz, graduate student in conservation of material culture at the University of California, Los Angeles
  • Sümeyye Yar, molecular biologist
