JOIN A RESIDENCY
SIX LABS, SIX TERRITORIES, ONE QUESTION: WHAT DOES REGENERATIVE PRODUCTION LOOK LIKE IN REAL LIFE? WORK WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES, CRAFT KNOWLEDGE AND MATERIALS. OPEN CALL COMING SOON.
The North Brabant region is a post-industrial knowledge economy based on a “triple helix”, decentralized, hyper-collaborative value-chain model. A landscape shaped by interwoven farmlands, urban centers, natural areas and cultural heritage sites..
URBAN-RURAL REGENERATIVE RELATIONS
How can we mobilize the strong project-oriented arts and crafts collaborative local networks to become the bridging force between urban and rural productive sites, and between the fashion and textile sector value chain and ecosystem management efforts?
How can textile and fashion design drive regeneration through biobased fibres? The Industrial Design department at Eindhoven University of Technology will make the Material Aesthetics and Wearable Senses labs available to support local talent to further develop their regenerative practices. Together with a network of collaborators like Nieuw Zwanenburg, New Order of Fashion and Textile Opportunity Space 13, the pilot aims at re-greening post-industrial areas, restoring biodiversity, and bioremediating soil while reconnecting with textile heritage. The resident’s practices will help shape the More-than-Human design studio (MOTH), showcasing the project's regenerative design guidelines.
