Let's Talk Textiles with Theertha Bakam

This workshop introduces participants to the growing issue of textile waste and provides practical, community-driven solutions through responsible consumption, repair culture, and circular practices. The session includes an interactive presentation and a small clothing swap to encourage reuse within the community.
