Item Open Access Learning to Dye in the Anthropocene: Environmentalism in Natural Dyeing in the United States from the 1960s to Today(2022) Guthrie, Laurin ColleenThis paper examines how issues of environmentalism are addressed in writing about natural dyeing from the 1960s and 1970s to today. Using a critical lens of environmental art and art activism proposed by scholar T.J. Demos, the writing of contemporary natural dyers Sasha Duerr and Dede Styles are examined alongside the historic literature to understand how approaches to natural dyeing have shifted in response to the environmental concerns which characterize the Anthropocene.
