Clothing the Loop: Circular Design Festival

CIT Woden Campus

Clothing the Loop: Circular Design Festival - where fashion meets activism, performance meets purpose, and dissent becomes a work of art. Across one vibrant weekend of ticketed and free events, Clothing the Loop unfolds as a spectacular evening event and a full day of activities including; panel talks, clothes swaps, installations and practical workshops celebrating sustainable fashion, circular design, live performance and creative activism. Presented by Australian Dance Party, Kelli Donovan and Canberra Institute of Technology, and held on the first weekend of the Craft + Design Canberra Festival, experience runway glamour, edgy contemporary dance, sensorial music and stimulating conversation, inviting powerful dialogue towards change. Clothing the Loop is a positive act of dissent, a joyful rebellion against the waste and over-consumption that define fast fashion. The festival re-imagines what it means to design, wear, and value clothing and textiles, re-framing them as a medium for care, creativity, and collective action. The opening evening event is a glamorous convergence of sustainable fashion by leading local and national designers, brought to life through immersive and electric live dance and music performances that echo themes of circularity. During the daytime program, audiences take part in hands-on workshops, design installations, age and ability inclusive tour, and auslan interpreted panel discussions that explore circular design in fashion, interior design and design for live performance.
