Read about our collaborator’s latest thoughts.​

"Communicating Complexity in Fashion Production: Navigating the Minotaur’s Labyrinth of Sustainability"

Unravelling the complex yarn of sustainability challenges in the fashion world is not a Gordian knot to cut and be done with but a continuous learning process about both internal and external relations. Whether within a single company or out in the social media sphere, communication is one common thread that weaves this pattern together.

"Co-creation for ecosystem restoration – a reflection from Mosquitia"

Arriving on the Misquito coast in eastern Honduras provides a sobering reminder of the tremendous challenge of healing ecosystems that lie ahead of us. The once forest-covered area has largely lost its trees, and the continuous fires ensure they won’t return anytime soon. As a result, the ecosystem in parts of La Mosquitia is moving from forest to grassland.
