In this virtual talk, artist Liz Harvey will discuss her exhibition, “the lost ones: iterations and murmurs”, and her work that engages with stitching as a way to deal with the bittersweet, particularly around climate disruption during the Anthropocene– the time during which humans have had a substantial impact on our planet. She’ll share how disorientation and embroidery come together as strategies to "queer" our relationship to nature.

To coincide with the launch of her new book, Kate Kilmurray welcomes members of the Textile Arts LA community to join her for a special online event to celebrate the way handweaving is a central part of women's lives; recording and reflecting not only the everyday, but also the significant and transformative moments which shape us.
The book, “The Weaving Way - a journey of a handweaving community” is a celebration of those of us who are united by the creativity of the small loom

This year’s Fibershed symposium "Relationships of Change" will explore the interdependence of people, policy, and materials that are necessary for transforming our soil-to-skin textile system. In this year’s Symposium you'll hear from those working on critical issues of supply chain decarbonization, garment worker’s rights, and new laws that are aiming to internalize the costs of our textile ‘waste.’ We will also take stock of our regional fibershed economies – and you’ll have an opportunity to hear about the work of Fibershed Affiliates, the Fibers Fund and efforts to bring climate benefitting farming and ranching incentives to the national scale.
This will be a hybrid event, and you may join us in person in Point Reyes or virtually.

For more than 700 years, the legacy cloth, lubugo (barkcloth), made from the mutuba tree has been used to clothe Ugandans, bury the dead and mark sacred ceremonies. In 2005, it was designated as an intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO to be preserved and protected. Today, it is inspiring artists, designers, scientists, scholars and researchers, yet it is not without challenges. Join artists and collaborators as they talk about these new directions and challenges
