There is a talk about flax and community networks at the Ulster Museum next Wednesday, 20th September, from 2:00 – 4:00pm, as part of the Linen Biennale NI.
At the heart of the global Fibershed movement is a commitment to creating a textile and clothing culture that enhances soil health and biodiversity through regenerative farming practices grounded in the concept of soil-to-soil systems and the right to livelihood for every person involved in the process from farming to finished garment.
In this short seminar, we will hear about the growth, successes and challenges faced by members of these collectives and consider how we can continue to grow more sustainable fibre networks in Northern Ireland.
Speakers include Fibreshed Ireland members @malu_colorin and eco-artivist @kathykirwan_eco_artivist, with a digital presentation from Shannon Welsh of @fibrevolution_pnw, who works with the @pnw_fibershed, USA.
Attendance is free, but please book via the Museum – https://www.ulstermuseum.org/whats-on/fibre-networks-growing-connections-northern-ireland
