HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
“We have left it so late to put our human house in order, that the only strategy left is that of positive deviance. We can’t wait for the international treaties, institutional reform or wise government leadership that will be too long coming.
“The only option is for as many people as possible to get on and do the right thing – wherever we are. It is a very positive revolution: against everything that leads back to behaviours that caused the ecological and economic breakdown in the first place, and for a stampede towards a future that puts improving the quality of life for people and the environment as the primary purpose of everything we do.”
Taken from The Positive Deviant: Sustainability Leadership in a Perverse World by Sara Parkin.
Wishing You a Merry Christmas 2011!
This Postmodernism at the V&A print is especially co-designed by Hatice Burgess, Pamela Schwartz and Emma Neuberg, members of the The People’s Print’s Born To Be Wild design group (the first co-design social textiles group) and experimenters in the future meaning, role and identity of textiles!
