Podcasts about cultural sustainability

In this episode, Gastronomica's Bob Valgenti talks with Evelyn Lambeth about the rise of beef consumption and the historical legacies that continue to shape food systems in Australia. Contrasting cattle with kangaroos and wallabies, Evelyn explains how imperial power and regulation have defined notions of what's edible – and what's not. Bob and Evelyn discuss what this means for local ecosystems today, and what policy changes and adaptations are needed to support environmentally and culturally sustainable foodways moving forward. Evelyn's research article will be available in the next issue of Gastronomica (24.2).Gastronomica is Powered by Simplecast.

In this episode, Frauke sits down with Dr. Kelly Ablard to talk about their new children's picture book No Place for Plants. The co-authors share how they conceived of writing the book, what the catalysts were that inspired them, and why the book meets the moment we find ourselves in. They explain why conservation and smelling are a perfect pair to encourage both child and adult to be more aware, get inspired, take action, and ultimately advocate for the plants. They discuss the concepts of Plant Awareness Disparity (PAD), Nature Deficit Disorder, Cultural Sustainability, Grammar of Animacy and Oneness, each of which were central elements of the book. Furthermore, they talk about the importance of community gardens and why it's so critical that we all identify as Naturalists.

Episode 316 features guests Lina Barkawi, a Tatreez practitioner, preservationist, and educator based in Brooklyn, alongside Eman Toom, a Palestinian Tatreez artist, teacher, sewer and crafter. “Part of just doing tatreez, in my personal opinion, is a form of resistance because we're basically just existing and we're showing our Palestinian identity, but there have also been very explicit uses of tatreez as a form of resistance. And so you have thobes that came out of the intifadas in the ‘90s where the flag was banned and so these are very explicit uses of tatreez where they would stitch literally the Palestinian flag. Or different motifs, like new motifs that came out of representing national identity and things like that. So, I just wanted to mention that because there have been very explicit forms of resistance, but I think the more subtle ways is kind of where Eman and I are playing a very big role in — is thinking about how do we help just bring more Palestinians into this art form and help them reclaim this art form and use it, because just by doing that, no matter what your color preferences are, whatever your background is, that is just in and of itself a form of resistance against an occupier.” -Lina “The technique and the skill that you're using to create these motifs — it is at its simplest form, a form of cross stitch. There's other forms of tatreez, but for the most part, it is that. But what I try to always remind people is that tatreez is so much more than that, in the sense that it is a record of our history. You know, the more that we study Palestinian embroidery, the more that we're studying tatreez, the more that we're studying the history of Palestine at the same time. You can't have one without the other, they go hand in hand.” -Eman When we think about sustainability, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Perhaps curbing our addiction to consumption, mass manufacturing, and circular materials. But what about cultural sustainability, craft, connection to ancestral land, and challenging colonization through continuing to uplift centuries old traditions?  In this week's episode we learn from our guests about how Tatreez inherently IS sustainability. The motifs and symbols embroidered on cloth are a language of symbols documenting spaces in time, they tell stories of nature, the flora and fauna around the Women making them. We learn that the hand made process is the antithesis to homogeneous fashion - it is slow, considered and truly one of a kind.   In 2021 the art of embroidery in Palestine was recognized by UNESCO as an important intangible cultural heritage - an artform that connects the Palestinian people to their roots. Preserving culture is inherently and naturally, as our guests share - sustainability. It needs no labels, or commodifying - it is made up of the everyday rituals, traditions, craft and practices that celebrate identity.   Quotes & links from the conversation: “The Land In Our Bones” by Layla K.

In episode 299, Kestrel welcomes Liz Spencer, the natural dye wizard behind Dogwood Dyer, to the show. With experience in both tending organic natural dye gardens and coaxing color from plants, Liz has devoted her artistic practice to discovering as much as possible about color that can come from plants. “That's sort of the pathway to understanding — is having the time to be intimate with one thing in particular like indigo or any dye plant, especially if you're growing your color, or even growing your own fiber — is spending a whole year just getting it to where you have the raw material, and then starting the process of creating the color or creating the textile. It really affords you ample time to ask many questions, and to holistically get to know it.” -Liz Something that's super important to me within this conversation is cultural sustainability – and ensuring we are acknowledging and respecting the roots of cultural traditions and craft techniques that have origins within many Black and Brown Indigenous communities.  As many of you have heard my guests and myself talk about over the years – the mainstream sustainability movement has done a lot of stealing and co-opting of knowledge and ideas, without crediting where these concepts originated.  Ever since I read an article by Nathalie Peña in Katie Pruett's Ethical Style Journal, I instantly think of these realities with regard to natural dye techniques.  For example – the dusty pink color, also known as millennial pink – that has been trending for the last several years has origins in Mexican culture, with the color being derived from avocado pits. But rarely do we hear this origin story from natural dyers or folks using these techniques in the space today. This week's guest has a voracious curiosity when it comes to all things natural dyeing. She has been growing plants for natural color and experimenting with adding color to garments using natural dyes for years now.  As a white woman in the sustainability space, I admire the deep learnings Liz has collected, with regard to the cultural origins attached to the techniques she uses, and the ways she continues to work to find creative and thoughtful ways to honor these roots.  We get into these layers, as well as more on the differences between synthetic, biosynthetic and natural dyes, and some nuanced thoughts around the so-called *scalability* of natural dyes. Quotes & links from the conversation: “Cultural Sustainability and Natural Dyes in Fashion”, article from Ethical Style Journal that Kestrel mentions in intro  “What are biosynthetic dyes & could they replace the toxic petroleum-heavy ingredients in today's predominant indigo garment dye?” (Conscious Chatter episode 274 that Liz mentions) “Those stable colors, I feel are worth the investment, but it just takes more time. And so, that's the biggest difference between retrieving brilliant colors with natural dyes vs synthetic dyes. And each has its consequence. One is — with natural color, more time investment. And then, one is — with synthetic dyes, the potential for having to problem solve when it comes to the product, the potential toxicity of synthetic dye effluent and what's left over that's really not biodegradable.” -Liz (29:27) “I think it's really important for anyone that gets into natural dyeing or starts on a path to do conscious digging and question-asking when sourcing the dyestuffs, and then of course working with them. Because you invariably will uncover complicated and painful context of history of these beautiful colors. I always recommend too — if you have the privilege to work with any of the dyes, in situ of their native habitat that they come from, or if you've worked with any of the dyers who hold the dye knowledge within their cultural and historical lineage — to share their work and to encourage others to seek out from them, to go and learn from them if they're seeking students. It's really important to understand the provenance and the historic context of the material for the artist, I believe — it's part of exploring the dyes and then paying respect to all of those who have contributed to millennia of this knowledge base that we all now benefit from.” -Liz (35:26) Stony Creek Colors American Grown Indigo Natural Dye Podcast Highlights Listing BIPOC Natural Dyers/Artists/Farmers/Educators Green Matters Natural Dye Co & Botanical Colors (natural dye houses scaling dye production in the U.S.) 'Earthcolors by Archroma' (making biosynthetic natural dyes from agricultural waste) Bio Black Dye by Nature Coatings (biosynthetic dye made from wood waste) The Dogwood Dyer Educational Subscription 'A Year in Natural Dyes' (natural dye knowledge for anyone) Dogwood Dyer Website Follow Liz on Instagram >

What is Cultural Sustainability? How is it connected to tourism? Join us as we sat down with Dr. Danielle Robinson, from The Okanagan College, Canada, to discuss what cultural sustainability is and the importance of it in the Okanagan Valley, Canada.

#IIDM #Digital #Marketing Hi, my name is Reneilwe Nyeleti Bianca Shirilele from the International Institute of Digital Marketing™. Amongst other things, I am African. Mixed. Culturally, not racially. I identify as a young woman belonging to the Vatsonga people of South Africa, who originated from the Central and East African regions and settled down in the southern parts of Africa. I can be found in Mozambique, in Giyani, in Zimbabwe, in Swaziland. You name it, I am there. My language belongs to one of many Bantu languages. I am known for my bright and colorful designs and upbeat music. I am part of Africa, I am Africa. I have other siblings, too, 51 of them; the Kenyan, the Malawian, the Zambian, the Tanzanian, the Angolan, Ghanaian, ku hlaya i ku xurha. (they are too many to count, albeit equally important. Such is the knowledge passed down to us by our grandparents and uncles, who then become our ancestors. Such is the importance of knowing your history to know your identity moving forward. And forward we are, in the digital era, in the covid-era. An era where we cannot meet and be jovial as in the ancient days. An era where our young ones seem indifferent to our teachings and histories as part of the African fingerprint. In an era where digital marketing is the new norm, and instead of rejecting our cultures and wearing eurocentric principles, we can adapt our African versatility in arts & culture, our own start-ups, and to the world. This is how we can preserve our cultures as African people in the digital marketing age. The future of African Cultural Sustainability is still bright, we adapt.

Is it ever OK to use the designs of a community that's not your own? Today we're exploring the issue of cultural appropriation, and what it means for the Indigenous communities that designers and brands like to ‘take inspiration' from. To help us digest this meaty issue we're joined by the wonderful Monica Boța-Moisin, a cultural IP rights lawyer, and founder of the Cultural Intellectual Property Rights Initiative (CIPRI). Monica chatted to us about how brands can move from ‘Ego to Eco' when creating clothes, and why the three Cs of consent, credit, and compensation can build bridges between traditional artisans and the fashion industry. Find out more about CIPRI via their website, and on Instagram, and find out more about Monica's Why We Craft initiative.

A multimedia platform exploring fashion with a modern and mindful perspective, Ethical Style Journal is expanding the conversation surrounding ethics and sustainability in fashion. “That’s the issue with sustainable fashion a lot of the times is that people want to do good, but they want to do good on the surface — they don’t really want to do good at the core, and that has become something that is too familiar in this space and it needs to be challenged at every corner.” -Katie Pruett, Founder + Editor-In-Chief of Ethical Style Journal On this week’s show, Katie shares an update on what she has been working on since we last chatted, and how her approach to sustainability and fashion has evolved since then. We also discuss a couple of the articles currently available on ESJ, and get into some of the nuances connected to cultural sustainability — the origin of natural dyes, the co-opting of ideas from BIPOC communities, the entitlement present in the sustainable fashion movement, the importance of getting beyond diversity and inclusion, beyond accountability and so much more. The below thoughts, ideas + organizations were brought up in this chat: “How Do We Preserve Culture Without Commodifying It?” by Seren Sensei for ESJ “The issue for me when it comes to specifically Black American culture is the constant erasure of us and our contributions to pretty much everything.” -Katie “Cultural Sustainability and Natural Dyes in Fashion” by Nathalie Peña for ESJ “Angela Davis said in a recent conversation she had with Yara Shahidi that there’s a difference between having information and having knowledge … you can Google something and have information about avocado pits but you’re not suddenly the expert or the most knowledgeable on the subject — and I think people need to start to reflect on that and the differences there and really pay homage and give credit to and space to the actual experts and the actual folks who hold the knowledge and the understanding of these practices.” -Katie Katie’s personal thoughts / response to the #MUTED campaign on Instagram Katie’s Letter From The Editor on ESJ Follow Ethical Style Journal on Instagram > Thanks to this week's sponsor TEN/TEN — an exclusive collection of ten one-of-a-kind engagement rings, designed by ten of the most distinctive designers working today.

EP30 - Tea Fleets and Painted Streets  Picture yourself strolling down the beautiful tree-lined streets of Portland when suddenly you are struck by the sight of a large mural painted right in the middle of a 4-way stop. As you stand there, thinking to yourself “how did this get here? Who made this place?”, you notice a bench made out of clay, open and inviting, placed on the sidewalk and right next to a tiny neighborhood library. You sit and take in this odd, idyllic scene - spending a moment to connect with your surroundings. Very often these murals and sculptures are the work of collaborative, community projects facilitated by City Repair, a group of permaculturists, anthropologists, environmentalists, and citizens devoted to bringing neighbors together through neighborhood projects. In this episode, Collin Gabriel and Frankie Ku sit down with RIdhi D’Cruz, Adrian Haley, and Jasmine Co from City Repair to discuss placemaking, houselessness, chocolate cake, a tea “horse”, and the upcoming 17th Annual Village Building Convergence, a 10-day spread of permaculture, natural-building, and intersection painting events open to all!   Hosts Collin Gabriel, Channelsmith, Hatch Innovation Frankie Ku, Brand and Marketing Manager, Hatch Innovation   Guests Ridhi D'Cruz, Co-Director of City Repair Ridhi D'Cruz is a Co-Director with City Repair.
