The exhibition gave also insight in the motives of The Linen Project.
How can we cultivate flax and linen sustainably and locally to build a new linen chain? Since 2018, The Linen Project has been trying to answer this question. The fashion industry mainly focuses on profit-making, leading to an increase in the production of cheap, low-quality products often made under poor working conditions. This has a significant impact on our environment. With The Linen Project, we explore how to make flax and linen sustainable and economically viable locally. We do this together, following the principle of ‘learning by doing’.
