Fordlandia

Fordlandia takes its name from Henry Ford's failed utopian rubber plantation in the Amazon — a project that attempted to transplant American industrial modernity into tropical wilderness. The exhibition uses this historical episode as a lens through which to examine questions of colonial enterprise, sustainability and the complex supply chains of the fashion industry.

Bringing together artists and designers who engage with materials, processes and the politics of production, it prompts reflection on fashion's environmental and social footprint.
