  Decolonial Perspective on Fashion and Sustainability

  Haisum Basharat

  The fashion industry has long been criticized for its exploitative practices, cultural appropriation, and detrimental impact on the environment. To address these challenges, there is a growing need to adopt a decolonial approach that acknowledges the historical injustices perpetuated by colonial systems and centers the voices, practices, and traditions of marginalized communities. This abstract presents a model that integrates decolonial principles into the fashion industry while incorporating traditional textile practices to promote local autonomy, cultural sustainability, and mitigate climate change.

  Starting From Ecotone Reconnecting Fragmented Mission Hill

  Xinyi Cai

  This thesis aims to address the spatial fragmentation of Mission Hill. As an old, crowded and chaotic neighborhood in Boston, Mission Hill is a microcosm of Boston's history. Four hundred years ago, Mission Hill was an ecological ecotone which consisted of a series of transitional landscapes, located on the border of a peninsula surrounded by salt marshes. Today, the history of ecotone has been hidden. Landfill, segregation, gentrification, and climate change have caused fragmented spaces, weak connections, and poor accessibility. Meanwhile, the fragmentation of public open areas has also disrupted people's interaction with one another, and the spatial spirit of the community is lost as a result.

  This thesis explores the new possibility of Mission Hill community development based on ecotone research and develops a full-scale spatial framework. Incorporating evidence from historical documents and field observations, Mission Hill's existing public open space exists as a reminder of its history as an ecotone. Research on ecotones demonstrates that different species and substances can co-exist and will be transferred efficiently because of the excellent connectivity inside the ecotone. Mission Hill's past as an ecotone creates the possibility of its future as the renewed ecotone. Through reconnecting fragmented open spaces, we can reactivate the history of Mission Hill and rewild Mission Hill to be a new ecotone. Inclusion, integrality and efficiency of ecotones can also be applied to the open areas of Mission Hill to enhance this new spatial system. By returning to the ecotone, Mission Hill can reorganize fragmented spaces, enhance connectivity and accessibility between spaces, activate hidden histories, evoke distant shared memories, and ultimately alleviate the emotional and physical trauma experienced by entire communities since segregation, gentrification, and climate change.
