Clothes and shoes shape how we experience and move in the world, how we relate to others and even how we think and act – including about the natural world. This is the starting point for Green Blood as we explore ways to reduce the pressure of modern ways of living on natural systems.

Friluftsliv (outdoor life) has strong traditions in Norway and is usually seen as nature-friendly. Yet the clothing and equipment used for friluftsliv contain more toxic substances and more plastic than other clothes, and can act as literal barriers that separate us from the elements as well as our surroundings. In Green Blood, we will explore how different ways of dressing while being outside can open up different nature experiences.
