Aja Barber wants change. And her powerful book Consumed – about the intersections between fast-fashion, climate, and colonialism – will make you believe that it might actually be possible. A stylist, model, and sustainability consultant, Barber speaks with much-needed frankness about the mess we’ve got ourselves into. But she also approaches the subject with humour, compassion, and – perhaps most compellingly – hope. Join her today, in conversation with Anahit Behrooz, for a hard-hitting, solutions-focussed look consumption culture, the ways we can break out of it, and why saying no to more 'stuff' is really a stance of power.
