Welcome to the fourth episode of ‘The IKKIVI Podcast Season 2’. In this episode, we have with us Aditi Mayer, a visual storyteller, sustainability activist, and frequent speaker on topics of social and environmental justice. Her work explores the intersections of style, sustainability, and social justice. Seeing the fashion industry’s disproportionate impact on people of color globally, Aditi seeks to understand the historical and sociopolitical underpinnings that allow the fashion industry to function in a colonial manner, rooted in exploitation and extraction of both labor and the natural environment.
In this episode, we speak with her about her incredible journey, her thoughts on how fashion and colonialism are interconnected, and how she looks to understand them through historical and socio-political perspectives. We also talk about cultural appropriation, how we can use fashion to strengthen our unique cultural identities, and ways we can contribute towards decolonizing fashion. You can follow her work on her Instagram.
