FishSkin - Horizon 2020
9.-13. September
Events
FISHSKIN HORIZON 2020
FishSkin is a new project, funded by the European Commission Horizon 2020 research and innovation initiative under the Marie Sklodowska Curie agreement. The project brings together a community of international experts including fashion design academics and practitioners, scientists, museum curators and craftsmen from ethnic minorities, with the aim of creating a space for dialogue, exchange and development to improve knowledge of sustainable methods for fish skin production and to explore the possibilities of innovating fish skin leather as a more sustainable and greener alternative to exotic leather to address the pressing sustainability issues in the current fashion industry.
Project leader is Shenkar college; partners include UAL, Atlantic leather, Listaháskolinn - Iceland University of the Arts,, Politecnico Milano, and Kyoto Seika University.
During the week of September 9th - 13th, 2019, the group will meet at the Icelandic Textile Center and participate in workshops taught both at the Atlantic Leather facilities in Sauðárkrókur and our facilities here in Blönduós.
