The textile industry is one of the most polluting industries in the world because of synthetic textile dyes. Can designers and researchers turn the tide with colourful alternatives? The project "A confession of Colour" leaded by the photographer Sarah Van Looy and journalist Sarah Vandoorne investigate this matter.
In the expo you will discover black and white portraits of designers on organic cotton, colored with their own sustainable dyeing techniques. Progressive and simple plant-based techniques are used: from algae to apple peels, from flowers to bacteria.
