About The Event
Join us for a thought-provoking talk led by designer Bhaavya Goenka. In an era where disposable consumption dominates the landscape, this event aims to illuminate the contrast between the Asian approach to consumerism and the emerging global shift towards sustainability.
Bhaavya will delve into the challenges of integrating traditional crafts with contemporary values, offering insights into how upcycling and sustainable practices can redefine our relationship with fashion and textiles. This engaging session will explore the intricacies of cultural heritage and its relevance today, shedding light on the need to embrace indigenous techniques while innovating for the future.
With her extensive background in textile design and a passion for zero-waste practices, Bhaavya will share her journey with IROIRO, a brand dedicated to championing sustainability and authentic craftsmanship. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the significance of mindful consumption, as well as practical strategies to contribute to a more circular economy.
