Although wool has been transformed into a global industry, so much of Europe\u2019s wool still ends up discarded each year \u2013 overlooked, undervalued, and dismissed as waste. However, Beatriz Isca sees wool through a different lens and \u2018Wool Matters\u2019 stands as a powerful reminder of how much we can learn from something as seemingly simple as wool.<\/p>\n

Wool Matters is the master\u2019s thesis project of the multidisciplinary designer Beatriz. ‘It began with a belief in wool\u2019s power to manifest the intricate connections between land, animals, and people. Beatriz discovered wool’s capacity as a universal language, transcending social, generational, and cultural barriers, and serving as a bridge that connects diverse lives and stories. Her work in ‘Wool Matters’ adopts a post-humanistic lens to understand the symbiotic relationships between people, animals and land.\u00a0 Aware of human and non-human actors in wool\u2019s ecosystem, she has engaged with different actors in the local wool landscape to uncover opportunities and address gaps. She is highlighting wool\u2019s inherent worth, with the hope to encourage a more circular, respectful approach to textiles\u2014one that sees humans, animals, and the environment as interconnected parts of a shared ecosystem.<\/p>\n

“The devaluation of local wool in Europe reflects the anthropocentric view and the unsustainable ways of living of modern society, that perpetuates the celebration of capitalism at the cost of ecological degradation and social exploitation,<\/em>\u201d she says. Looking beyond traditional profit-driven industries and focusing on local and craft-based practices, Beatriz aims to redefine our relationship with wool\u2014and, in turn, with nature.<\/p>\n

When it comes to community-centric sustainable practices, Beatriz advocates for a shift back to natural rhythms\u2014those governed by seasons and the meticulous pace of handcrafting\u2014encouraging a more humane and ecologically mindful way of living. Her mission extends beyond mere dialogue; it\u2019s about crafting a vision that repositions decision-making into the hands of local communities. By involving designers more deeply in societal roles, Beatriz believes in empowering communities to challenge and reshape the structures that define our world.<\/p>\n

Pushing for collaboration, Beatriz, a researcher and a communicator, is not just raising awareness but also fostering tangible connections. Through craft-based practices, she amplifies the value of local wool, urging citizens to partake actively. Her workshops and collaborations are not just about crafting with wool; they invite participants to feel, reflect, and react to the broader implications of consumption and production that surround this ancient material.<\/p>\n

Bringing ‘Wool Matters’ to Munich meant searching for local collaborations which resulted in weaver Lukas\u00a0Gschnitzer<\/a> and local yarns from Rauwerk\u00a0<\/a>will be part of the project’s presentation, showcasing the value of local wool. Rauwerk firmly believes in working with, and not against, Mother Nature. Their yarn comes from local Merino sheep and is spun at a family run mill just south of Munich.<\/p>\n
