Films for Change - The Nettle Dress

At this Pre-Christmas Films for Change we invite you to our community screening in collaboration with Transition Dundee at the Wardrobe. Amidst the busyness and consumerism of the season we invite you to pause and come on a journey with us, an ode to love, memory and nature.

The Nettle Dress is a film about textile artist Allan Brown. Allan sounds seven years making a dress by hand made entirely from the fibre of locally foraged stinging nettles.

This is 'hedgerow couture', the greenest of slow fashion and also his medicine. It's how he survives the death of his wife and finds a beautiful way to honour her.

A modern day fairytale and hymn to the healing power of nature and slow craft.

We will provide food and refreshments and there will be time for discussion and to share thoughts.
