With Every Fiber | Exhibit Grand Opening
Saturday, May 4, 10:00 am - 5:00 pm
where do our building materials come from
and are they made with fair labor?
Launched at Grace Farms in 2020, Design for Freedom is a collaborative global movement to eliminate forced labor in the building materials supply chain. This new long-term exhibit invites visitors into the movement by offering cross-sector insights into the scope of the problem and proposing strategies and practices to address it through a series of material studies, including timber, steel, concrete, and textiles.
A space for both education and contemplation, the exhibit features innovative solutions, including a tapestry of bio-based materials designed by the Yale Center for Ecosystems + Architecture, alongside contributions from poets, photographers, theologians, and others.
With Every Fiber is curated by Grace Farms Creative Director Chelsea Thatcher and designed by Studio Cooke John Architecture + Design, with graphics by Pentagram.
Understanding that humanity touches every single step along the way allows us to reimagine how architecture fits into the rest of our lives.
