Apéro & Film Screening "The Nettle Dress"

Description

The film "The Nettle Dress" tells the remarkable story of textile artist Allan Brown, who creates a dress from nettles over seven years. This time-consuming process becomes a form of devotion, with each thread representing hours of mindful work. The film powerfully shows how the challenge of producing sustainable clothing from local resources prompts Brown to relearn old craft techniques. The transformation of nettles into fabric symbolically reflects Brown's own transformation from grief to renewal. "The Nettle Dress" is more than just a documentary about textile production. It is a moving story about healing, craftsmanship, and a deep connection to nature. 19:00 – 20:00, Apéro and market at the new Kaiserhaus in Bern, 20:00 – 21:30, Film screening.
