In the first event of this monthly Speaker Series ‘I Brought a Thing’, two RFI Fellows from different disciplines each bring an object made from the same material – wool – and share what it reveals about their research.

Ricarda Bigolin (School of Fashion and Textiles) and Laura Main (Activator Entrepreneurial Programs) join us to explore wool from their distinct perspectives, uncovering unexpected connections between design, making, sustainability and the systems that shape how we live.

Expect one hour of ideas, contrast and conversation – and a fresh way of looking at something we thought we knew.

Where: RMIT University Swanston Library, City Campus, Library Soft Seating Lounge. Building 12, Level 5, Room 106. Enter via Building 10.
