Fashion for Good in Amsterdam

Fashion for Good in Amsterdam

This past March, my husband and I had the good fortune to visit the Fashion for Good Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands—an interactive museum that tells “the stories behind the clothes you wear and how your choices can have a positive impact on people and our planet.”

The health of the planet is top of mind for people in Amsterdam—something we learned almost as soon as we arrived, as the cab driver who took us from the airport to our hotel, driving a fully electric vehicle, mentioned the concern: Amsterdam is below sea level, likely to feel heavy impacts of climate change, and thus, a place that is working toward solutions and adaptations.

Filmmaker Q&A with Katja Esson of 'Razing Liberty Square'

Q: Why did you decide to tell this story? 

A: Liberty Square is located only a few blocks from where I live. When I arrived in Miami in the late 1980s to study film, this exciting place blew my German mind. My first job in the film industry was as a production assistant on “2Live Crew” Hip Hop music videos, all filmed in Liberty City. Following my dream of making documentaries I moved to New York City—but Miami never left me.

Beyond Bloodshed: The Environmental Ravages of War

When a country is at war, both its people and its biodiversity are under attack. As warfare kills, wounds, and traumatizes countless humans, it also destroys, damages, and endangers soil, air, water, wildlife, flora, and fauna—elements that all humans depend on for life. Warfare is, in short, an act of destruction that disproportionately affects all the planet’s essential ecosystems.
