Rethinking Textiles & Materials
Textiles and materials are not passive resources. They are connected to history, culture, nature, location and processes of making. At the Textile & Material Innovation HUB, designers, scientists, makers and thinkers come together to explore new possibilities within the field of textiles and material innovation, driven by curiosity and engagement.
What if material becomes relational, affecting our sensorial systems and help shape how we experience the world around us? What happens to the role of the designer when materials are no longer fully controlled, but collaborated with? What new narratives emerge when waste becomes a material of value and resource, rather than a problem?
Through experimentation, knowledge and collaboration, the projects invite us to rethink how we understand, create and use materials. A new material culture for the future is not only imagined but also created and already taking shape here.
