Opening event 4th July 5-7pm
Artist Milvia Romici visited one of the largest fast-fashion waste sites in the Atacama Desert. Among mountains of discarded clothing—some still bearing tags—the overwhelming scale of abandonment struck her. Much of this waste will never break down. Synthetic fibers leach toxins into the soil and air, endangering local communities.
This exhibition combines fabric fragments—mostly denim and fast fashion remnants— salvaged from the desert and sewn by hand. Working closely with local artists and residents, Romici recorded reflections on what it means to live alongside this material saturation.
