The modern green burial movement of caring for the dead with preservation of habitat and minimal environmental impact is on the rise. This exhibition brings awareness to end-of-life planning through statement garments, shrouds, and textile coffins. The tallgrass prairie framed the making through its unique landscape and use of plants and grasses to dye and print fiber. The exhibition is organized in collaboration with guest curator Sherry Haar, Professor of Fashion Studies at Kansas State University.
