Ashes to Fashion
Celebrate and commemorate fifty years of collecting fashion at the Ulster Museum and experience a collection reborn.
Book TicketsReflect on your relationship with fast fashion in this talk with Alison Gault
This talk wanders through the landscapes of craft, care, and regeneration, exploring how ancient skills and local materials can help us rediscover a gentler relationship with what we wear. It reflects on supply chains that contract, design practices rooted in community and ecology, and the possibility of clothing that restores rather than extracts.
Join us as we unravel stories of people, place, and planet with threads that, when knitted and woven together with intention, might point toward a more hopeful future for fashion.
