Textile Mechatronics Challenge
Event Description

In an effort to build a fairer, more sustainable textile industry, teams from both Scotland and Northern Ireland have been working to reinvent processing equipment for natural fibres.

Their work will be installed in Belfast Exposed as part of the ‘The Clean Blue of Linen’ exhibition by Yvette Monahan, in collaboration with The Gaia Foundation’s campaign “We Feed The UK. We invite designers, engineers, textile workers, artists, coders, developers, fashion students, robotics specialists to join this challenge. Explore how natural fibre is processed and get involved in designing open-source machinery that can transform an industry. Hosted by Fantasy Fibre Mill, Tiernan Stuart and Mallon Linen.

Food and drink and prizes sponsored by Mallon Linen.
