Kosedo Studios: Sewing in the Netherlands

New Episode Summary: Today's heart-to-heart is all about the global narratives that stitch us together. Join Lisa in meeting Vanessa Martina of Kosedo Studio! Vanessa lives and sews in the Netherlands, and she's an old hand at making patterns that flatter Black bodies. Listen in as Lisa and Vanessa explore the tricky history of Dutch involvement in African print fabric. From colonial markets to modern-day copyright law, it's a piercing look at who really owns cultural property in the sewing world.
