Denim Diocese| Year 10 Nagle Catholic College Students

11 September – 17 October 2026

Special Opening event 5.30pm Friday 11 September. All welcome. FREE

 

Denim Diocese takes audiences fifty years into a speculative future where the textile industry has collapsed. 

 

Created by Year 10 students from Nagle Catholic College, the exhibition presents found denim artefacts preserved by future custodians as evidence of the crisis points that brought an industry to its knees.

 

Each artefact tells a different story — of overconsumption, waste, exploitation, environmental damage, fast fashion and a system pushed beyond its limits. Through speculative design and storytelling, Denim Diocese asks audiences to confront the choices that led to collapse, while considering the warning signs already visible in our world today.

 

What happens when we consume beyond what the world can sustain?
