Women, Work and Weave

A collaborative panel discussion from Rosa Avilez, Uroos Jamal and Emily Tonge.

Here we held a rich conversation delving into our past of industrial production, a present of cooperative change and a future of alternative processes, all in connection to labour, weaving and the women impacted by this ancient craft.

As three individual practitioners, we bring to the table conversations unpicking the cultural impacts of one of humanity’s earliest technologies. Together we untangle the threads of systems that have veiled our perceptions of reality. Here we discuss, the real cost of production and profit, touching on fast-fashion and the impact on women in this industry.
