UN[PARA]LD: Collective Action and Rethinking Outdoor Clothing

Following a short screening of UN[PARA]LD, Alice Sainsbury and Gavin Fernie-Jones discuss the power of collective action in challenging systems that exclude disabled people. The conversation explores how listening, collaboration, and shared responsibility can reshape the outdoor clothing industry, and how small, collective shifts can lead to meaningful structural change.
