bftn x TSA Present: Woven From Nature A Virtual Film Screening + Conversation

Join the Textile Society of America (TSA) in collaboration with the Black Fiber & Textile Network (bftn) for a virtual honoring Black fiber heritage, artistry, and sustainable practice. This special event will feature a screening of “Woven From Nature,” a short documentary film produced by bftn, followed by a live panel discussion with Lauren Baccus, Deandra Eubanks, Teju Adisa-Farrar, and Mahdiyyah Muhammad.

“Woven From Nature” offers an intimate look at the stories and practices of Black fiber producers, natural dyers, and textile artists who work at the intersection of craft, community, and climate justice. The film celebrates ancestral knowledge, earth-based production, and collective healing, centering sustainability, environmental justice, and cultural memory.

Following the screening, hear directly from members of the Black Fiber & Textile Network in a panel discussion exploring the power of Black-led fiber work, land stewardship, and community-driven systems of care. A live audience Q&A will close the hour-long program.
