“Weaving Craft, Culture, and Climate: On Fashion for Environmental & Social Justice” by Aditi Mayer
The PhotoVogue Festival, the first conscious fashion photography festival that focuses on the common ground between ethics and aesthetics, returns for its eighth edition. From March 6th to 9th, 2025, BASE Milano will host a series of exhibitions and talks analysing the interrelation between humans and Nature, and the relations of kinship we can create with animals, complemented by satellite events at the city's finest galleries.
Synopsis
In this presentation, storyteller and sustainability activist Aditi Mayer explores how fashion can be a medium for social and environmental justice—examining the intersections of craft, climate, and culture through both personal stories and historical frameworks.
How can fashion allow us to honour discredited ways of knowing? How can we become archivists of living traditions? Can craft serve as a climate solution?
Join Aditi Mayer, founder of The Artisan Archive, as she unpacks these questions through a decade of work in the sustainability realm, engaging with garment workers, artisans, farmers, and designers across the world. Through a lens of resilience, heritage, and cultural preservation, she explores how fashion is not just an industry, but a language of resistance.
