SUMMARY:Fiber Literacy: Made In New England
DESCRIPTION:What exactly is a fibershed? The easy answer is a geographic region\, much like a watershed\, where natural fibers are grown\, processed\, and transformed into textiles and building materials as locally as humanly possible. But in an age of convenience and disposability\, how to stress the importance of a fibershed is oftentimes a herculean task. Learn how the Southeastern New England Fibershed is working to strengthen regional fiber economies in Massachusetts and Rhode Island while helping reconnect communities to the land and to one another. Director Amy DuFault will lead the talk\, sharing insights on why communities must rethink traditional textile economies and move toward more cooperative\, community-driven models to ensure a viable future. Her perspective will challenge attendees to consider how collective action and regional collaboration can reshape the way we produce\, value\, and engage with fiber.
