Fashioning Change | Documentary Premiere & Screening

FASHIONING CHANGE Documentary Premiere & Screening An evening of storytelling, connection and meaningful change. Join us at the Museum of Sydney for the exclusive launch of Fashioning Change — a powerful documentary celebrating First Nations women's leadership, creativity, sustainability and the extraordinary social impact of community-led enterprise and circular fashion in remote Australia. Enjoy an evening of drinks, canapés, documentary storytelling and thought-provoking conversation, bringing together leaders from business, philanthropy, sustainability and the social impact sector. One story. Two worlds. A different perspective on fashion and change. Fashioning Change is part of You Can't Do That in the Bush!, a short-form documentary series produced by Blue Clay Creatives, celebrating the bold ideas, grassroots innovation and inspiring people driving change across regional and remote Australia. The series challenges perceptions of what's possible beyond our major cities, shining a light on remarkable stories of leadership, creativity and innovation that might otherwise go untold. Through powerful storytelling, it connects audiences with the people and communities developing solutions to some of Australia's most pressing social and environmental challenges. What if fashion excess could be reimagined as opportunity? Fashioning Change takes audiences on a journey from Australia's urban fashion landscape to Urapunga, a remote First Nations community in the Northern Territory, where women are transforming clothing into creativity, confidence, cultural expression and local enterprise. Through the lens of a community-led upcycling workshop and fashion show, the documentary celebrates the women and young people who are reimagining pre-loved clothing into new designs inspired by Country, culture and community. At the heart of the story is the Remote OpShop Project, an Australian charity that has spent more than a decade working alongside remote First Nations communities to improve access to essential goods, support local enterprise and create lasting opportunities through community leadership and self-determination. More than a story about clothing, Fashioning Change explores the intersection of circular fashion, social impact and First Nations leadership — and how innovative, community-led solutions can create lasting change.
