The Colonial Climate Crisis: Sustainable Fashion Edition | Fibershed

April 3, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

A special online lecture by Dominique Drakeford to explore the intersections of sustainability, colonization, the climate crisis, and fashion systems. This special introductory lecture is a prerequisite to learning about the root issues of unsustainability and the ecosystem that keeps that engine well-oiled and active.

Language is a foundational pillar in how we design equitable systems, planting the seed that nurtures an intolerance for toxic Western European discourse on sustainability and environmentalism — especially in one of the most complex, impressionable, and profitable industries: FASHION. It’s time to decolonize the sustainability and fashion lexicon from a cultural vantage point.
