Local as a fashion change-maker
Hybrid event, 8th June 2022, 17:30-19:30 CET
Online and at Sentralen, Oslo
How can we bring the local alternatives to the forefront of the sustainability debate and in policy?
We have important decisions ahead to ensure a just transition to more sustainable ways of living. The new book “Local, slow and sustainable fashion: wool as a fabric for change” from the clothing research group at Consumption Research Norway SIFO, uses “wool as a lens through which to see important aspects of the contemporary world: corporate capitalism, consumerism, standardisation and their opposites: localised crafts and practices, quality of life, sustainability” (Professor Thomas Hylland Eriksen).
The clothing research group’s (world-renowned) wool research sits within the institute’s important research areas of local consumption and sustainability.
Join us for this hybrid launch event hosted by the editors, Prof. Ingun Grimstad Klepp and Tone Skårdal Tobiasson, and hear the perspectives from authors and readers of the book, including Rebecca Burgess of Fibershed California, Dr. Lorrie Miller from the University of British Colombia, Dr. Tone Smith from Rethinking Economics Norway and Eivind Jacobsen, Institute Director at SIFO.
