Each room is inhabited by a dancer, a character, who embodies through movement the various “nervous disorders” associated with female health in the early 20th century. Inspired by Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper,” written in 1892, director Elizabeth Leister reminds us of mistreatment in the past while inciting critical thinking about the present day.

The fashion industry is responsible for 20% of global wastewater and 10% of global carbon emissions. What’s more, fashion is often linked to human rights violations including dangerous work conditions, long hours, and instances of modern slavery.

X-Ray Fashion explores the darker side of the industry in an immersive, multisensory installation uncovering the hardships workers must endure and the environmental threats caused by the garment production process. From the cotton field to the dyeing vats that color local waterways, to the sewing sweatshops and landfills of discarded clothes, the journey will challenge the way you think about the clothes you wear and the choices you make.
