Seminar: The Red Puna project: Sustainability, community and craft

We are delighted to announce that we will soon welcome 2 representatives from Red Puna, a collective of indigenous communities based in northwest Argentina, to campus.

On Wednesday 13^th March, 4-5.30pm they will give a talk about their female-led project to create sustainable, fair income through handwoven llama wool crafts. This is an exciting project showcasing successful grassroots organising alongside creative, community-driven approaches to sustainability. It will provide an opportunity to reflect on how researchers can engage with this type of work from our different disciplines.

Alongside the talk, Red Puna will also display a range of the crafts produced by their network. We therefore recommend attending in-person (Edith Morley 127) but this will be a hybrid event.

We are grateful for funding from a Research England ISPF Institutional Support Grant (ODA) to enable this visit (PI: Catriona McAllister. CoIs: Cherilyn Elston and Claudia Murray).
