“We are the Earth. We arise from the Earth and we return to it. The Earth is within us. The Earth is our sister, our daughter, our aunt, our mother, our grandmother. The Earth is our womb, our food, our cure.” Celia Xakriaba, Indigenous activist, Xakriabá people of Brazil.
We are dreaming of a future era where colour and materials can be created without extraction of fossil fuels and precious natural resources, or the use of harmful chemicals. Designers are challenging the industry of colour, extracting non-toxic pigments from fungi, mould, lichen, bacteria, microbes and algae.
Earth pigments collected in North Africa. Solar dye marigold and foraged roadside weeds reveal unexpected colours extracted from nature. Light filled, energy bosting, Vitamin colours emerge from blissful experimentation, bright lime food waste, orange kombucha fermentation, bacteria pinks and spirulina greens.
The global challenges we collectively face, are calling our industry to transform, from the ground up. The ideas and creatives featured in this book harness innovation alongside ancient wisdom, to begin to dream of brave new solutions around how we can co-create a hopeful future.
