Online Artist Talk: Fast Fashion

Join Yulia Shtern, an artist featured in our current exhibit, Changing Tides, in a talk on the environmental footprint of the fast fashion industry. We'll uncover the impact fast fashion, the rapid creation and distribution of inexpensive clothing, has on the environment and explore alternative materials and practices aimed at alleviating these effects. The second part of the talk introduces a number of international artists, including some of members from the i3C Artist Group also featured in Changing Tides, who use upcycled textiles and other discarded materials originating from fast fashion as their artistic medium. The aim of the talk is to foster the public’s interest, creating further awareness about this aspect of caring for the environment, and helping to educate and inspire. Community’s engagement with environmental initiatives facilitates their forming of an emotional connection to these issues, galvanizing the feeling of ownership and investment in the potential solutions.

This talk will be presented via Zoom. A link will be sent via email shortly before the event to guests who have RSVP'd with instructions.
