2023 Fibershed Symposium: Relationships of Change

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.

A Symposium on the Art of Myrlande Constant

Join the Fowler for a one-day conference led by exhibition co-curators Jerry Philogene and Katherine Smith.

This symposium accompanies the Fowler exhibition Myrlande Constant: The Work of Radiance, the first museum retrospective of a contemporary Haitian female artist who has been creating groundbreaking work for 30 years. With the goal of bringing breadth and depth to Constant’s ouevre and recognizing her impact on contemporary art, each speaker will focus on a single textile in the exhibition, highlighting such themes as race and representation, political resistance, labor, gender, and aesthetics.
