It explores the idea of renewal. People with different points of view can discover each other, gather together and discuss in Clermont-Ferrand. The thoughts resulting from the cross-fertilization of diverse invaluable approaches are expressed in the symbolical places of the city, and in its cultural and heritage sites. The urban space which belongs to everybody is a space where relations and energies called up for the creation of the Festival can fully express themselves. As in 2012, the idea for the international edition of the FITE 2015 came up when we met the great Filipino fashion designer Patis Tesoro. Festival was created because textile is deeply and particularly human; because it is a medium common to all peoples of the world, a means of communication among human beings; because it deals with waste of consumer societies, with population displacement, with the protection of the planet, with peace on Earth. Invented almost 650,000 years ago, it is a mirror of Man, made in numerous materials, shapes, colors and designs. It is in symbiosis with us and is a type of language, a real support for texts - it has the same Latin etymology as the word "text" (texere which means "weaving"). Textile crafts. Textile craft and popular culture. Textile design. Athenor, Christine organizer. Bouilloc, Christine organizer. Bianchi, Olivier organizer. FO UPD DCFA NK 8804 R46 2014 Book
