Explore the intersection of fashion, sustainability, activism, and spirituality in this inspiring conversation with visionary artist Runa Ray.
🧵 Episode Overview
In this extraordinary episode, Liza Florida sits down with internationally renowned fashion environmentalist Runa Ray to explore her journey from an imaginative introverted child in Bangalore to becoming a transformative voice in global environmental and peace activism. Runa shares how fashion can go far beyond aesthetics — becoming a catalyst for sustainability, women’s empowerment, ocean conservation, and nuclear disarmament.
This isn’t just a story about textiles. It’s about curiosity, compassion, and creative courage reshaping our collective future.
🔑 Key Topics Covered
- The Seeds of Imagination:
Runa’s early love of books, classic literature, and adventure stories — and how her introverted childhood shaped her creative path. - A Mother’s Influence:
The pivotal role Runa’s mother played in encouraging her to pursue fashion instead of medicine — and how that decision led to awards, honors, and a scholarship to Paris. - Environmental Innovation through Fashion:
How Runa’s research into seaweed-based dyeing techniques and her discovery of invasive algae led to groundbreaking biomaterials that conserve water and protect marine life. - Social Justice for Seaweed Divers:
A sobering look into the lives of indigenous women divers in India, their fight against ocean privatization, and how Runa’s work sheds light on environmental and gender justice. - Textiles and Geopolitics:
Runa explains how the garments we wear — and the water-intensive fashion industry — are deeply tied to global conflict over shared water resources, particularly in nuclear-armed nations. - The Global Peace Flag Project:
A breathtaking initiative turning discarded cotton prototypes into canvases for peace commitments from around the world — exhibited at the United Nations, and soon the Vatican. - Threads of Peace at the White House:
An invitation to engage Runa’s event that took place on May 24 in Washington, D.C., featuring fashion for peace, global speakers, and her activism in action.
🧠 Powerful Quotes from Runa Ray
“It always starts with curiosity and ends with compassion.”
“Why do we need to kill people to find peace? That makes no sense.”
“The very shirt you’re wearing could spark a war — if you understand how much water and shared resources are behind it.”
“As women, our strength lies in weaving love and intention into everything we create.”
