Making Matters x Levi's Digital with British Council

Conversations in Creativity

With host Amber Butchart and Hannah Robinson (British Council), Justine Aldersey-Williams (NW England Fibreshed), Pammi Sinha (Leeds University), Temar Biratu (Levis), Frederik Deschuytter (Envisions) and Theo Tan (Store Projects).

This Conversations in Creativity session for British Textile Biennial, hosted by Amber Butchart, is an opportunity to meet the international collective selected to collaborate digitally with a UK-based practice for the British Council & Levis Digital “Making Matters” residency. The panel also includes contributions from experts and practitioners sharing exciting and innovative ideas for more sustainable denim and textile production.

Earlier this year Levi’s with British Council invited interdisciplinary designers and artists to submit creative proposals for reimagining Levi’s post-consumer materials as part of the Levi’s by Levi’s initiative and British Council Making Matters programme.

Exploring circular design and material transformation, the digital residency also has a focus on exploring the social and cultural values that underpin different geographical relationships with textiles around the world.

This session was recorded in October 2021, as part of the British Textile Biennial.
