Re.Stance Panel: Future Fabrics

Sunday, May 31 | 2:30 PM - 3:15 PM
$10 | General
$5 | Students & Textile Museum Members

Join us for an afternoon three-part panel series at the Textile Museum of Canada, presented by Re.Stance, exploring textile histories and cultural memory through ancestral knowledge, circular and regenerative design systems in practice, and future material innovation through decolonial thinking and biofabrication.

Panel 3: Future Fabrics – Decolonized Design, Biofabrication & Planetary Intelligence

Future Fabrics positions creators as architects of new material and cultural systems. The panel explores the intersection of ancestral knowledge and emerging technologies like biofabrication, asking how innovation can remain rooted rather than extractive.

Framed by planetary limits, the conversation rethinks ideas of value, responsibility, and design itself—imagining what a future fashion system could look like if built on care, reciprocity, and long-term thinking.

This programming is produced in collaboration with Re:Stance as part of the sustainable fashion symposium Temporality: A Love Letter to Gaia.
