The Sustainable Future Lies in Indigenous Tradition | Yasmeen Mjalli | TEDxAlManaraSquare

In her design work, Yasmeen Mjalli explores the idea of sustainability as understood through the intersections of indigenous knowledge, fashion, and environmental justice. In her intricate talk, she looks to the collective ancestral past of BIPOC for guidance into a sustainable future built on a collaborative relationship with Mother Nature. Yasmeen Mjalli describes herself a someone who is creative and found herself in diaspora so she left the USA and moved back to Palestine where she is now based. She is the creative director of Nol Collective, an intersectional feminist and political fashion collective which designs and produces apparel in Palestine as well as provides a space for local women-run cooperatives and brands to feature their work. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
