From Fiber to Yarn: A Discussion Between Textile, Biology and Design

Experimental Yarn is planned as an interdisciplinary exchange on the idea of fibers and yarn: How are fibers and yarns being formed and how do they perform inside a material system. By discussing and comparing approaches from specific disciplines - Textile Technology, Biomaterials and Design - we aim to transgress the disciplinary boundaries and explore new fields for research and application.

We cordially invite researchers from the Cluster and KHB students to join the event and discuss the input together. Please join us online: Friday, October 16th, 2020, 10:00 am–3.00 pm.
