Degrowth Conference: Convivial Clothing

We’re delighted to be co-hosting a session at this year’s Degrowth Conference with Sewing Cafe Lancaster.

This is the international Online Joint Conference of the international degrowth research networks, the International Society for Ecological Economics and the European Society for Ecological Economics, taking place from 5th-8th July and hosted by the University of Manchester. The overarching conference theme is ‘Building Alternative Livelihoods in times of ecological and political crisis’.

Our session with Sewing Cafe Lancaster is titled ‘Convivial Clothing’ – a mend-along and group discussion on how we might reimagine the fashion industry through the lens of conviviality – as a fun, social, democratic and participatory practice which is beneficial for individuals, local and global societies, and our planet.

Our session takes place on Weds 7^th July at 1:45pm, and the conference is jam-packed with loads of other  brilliant events which we can’t wait to join in with.
