BeschreibungThe field of fashion and textiles is characterized by environmental pollution, overproduction, and exploitation. How can I use my skills as a designer and mediator to stimulate change? By taking a closer look at material agency in art education, this research aimed to unlock the transformative powers of historical textile archives. To explore their potential for museums and their educational programmes, I started out by asking the following overarching research question: How can design experiences conceived for and with others inspire a feeling of resonance in people and help fostering more sustainable textile futures? In a multisensory workshop, conceived in collaboration with the Museum of Textiles in St.Gallen and a selected partner high school, I tested and documented artistic design interventions at the archive with young adults as the consumers and museumgoers of tomorrow. Since Action Research methodologically lends itself well to artistic and educational processes, I had chosen its cyclical approach as my investigative tool for this thesis. During the evaluation process of the first research cycles, though, I realized that my question cannot be answered conclusively. Documenting changes in visitors' attitudes toward sustainable practices in a restricted timeframe are difficult to gauge. Future cycles of inquiry would hence change the research focus and aim to find out, how interlacing cognitive, sensory, and artistic approaches in art education can help museums to actively engage the public in current sustainability discourses and empower their audiences to co-author and design new stories for the future. Beside text-based outcomes, this research feeds into museum toolkits, fashion items, textile exhibitions, a book, a cinematic documentation and finds a home in the project FASHION SHIFT (formerly called TEMA – House of Textile Matters).
