Circular Dialogues Symposium and Exhibition

Circular Dialogues is an international symposium and design exhibition exploring the future of circularity in fashion and textiles, bringing together researchers, designers, and policymakers to share real-world insights and innovative responses to sustainability challenges.

Taking place in New York in February 2026, the event features:

  • Symposium: 10 February 2026 at NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study

  • Exhibition: 8–11 February 2026 at The Canvas during New York Fashion Week

The programme highlights best practices, interdisciplinary research, and policy perspectives that shape the shift toward more regenerative and circular design systems. With case studies from both New York and Tallinn, Circular Dialogues emphasises innovation, collaboration, and practical strategies for advancing circularity across the fashion and textile sector.

This event is hosted by NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study, the Fulbright Program, Estonian Academy of Arts, Estonian Association of Designers, Erasmus+, and The Canvas — co-sponsored by the NYU Office of Sustainability and openEARTHstudio, an NYU initiative dedicated to integrating creative practice with climate and sustainability work.
