TFOL4 - Conference

10:00-17:00

Are you interested in how digital tools can revisit traditional crafts, how we can use waste (upcycling and/or recycling) as a resource, how electronic textiles can empower inclusivity, or how we can make biomaterials a sustainable alternative to plastic?

The Future of Living 4 — Rethread the Needle readdresses textile through contemporary practices, digital tools and machineries. It focuses on four threads 🧵, explored through public worksessions taking place at Green Fabric and iMAL.

We invite you to a presentation day at iMAL concluding these sessions! Each of the sessions participants will share both the processes and the achieved results. EUNIC invited artists and creators will then join a panel discussion, and present their own practice.
