Drawing Lines of Care: Fieldnotes
Drawing Lines of Care: Fieldnotes is a three-part co-edited publication exploring how we cultivate care and solidarity through acts of joyful resistance. At a time when narratives, perceptions and events are rapidly shifting, practices of care, connection and solidarity feel more vital than ever.
This publication brings together diverse voices, experimental ideas, dreams, provocations and critical reflections that challenge the status quo in and through fashion practice, education, research and culture. Compiled from over 100 valued contributions spanning multiple geographic locations, academic and other disciplines, beliefs, knowledges, and understandings.
Centre for Sustainable Fashion has been exchanging fieldnotes, through field days since 2012, gathering observations, samples, experiments, stories, and wisdoms from near and far. Each set of Fieldnotes delves into a different theme, through myriad creative interpretations; honouring the past, critiquing the present, and imagining futures in which we can live well together in a more‑than‑human world.
Fieldnotes can help us in navigating the tensions between the real, the possible and where hope lies. These notes are intended to be read as evidence that gives meaning and aids in personal and collective understanding. They can help sense the insensible, mark the indeterminate and deepen connections between human and more than human beings. In 2026, as the world changes and the Centre changes, the map really does not describe the territory.
Drawing Lines of Care invites you to get lost and found in these notes as part of making sense of souls, soils and societies.
