Fearfest Port Kembla 2025

Carnival Heart

Designed by Cesar Cueva for The Future Artifact and printed locally by Screenfeeder, the Fearfest 2025 T-shirt merges symbolism, craftsmanship, and Port Kembla pride. It’s both an artwork and a uniform, a way of carrying the festival’s pulse beyond the night itself.

On the front, the Sacred Heart burns in orange and teal, a mark of devotion, rebellion, and renewal. It’s a symbol that bridges faith and fire, the industrial heart of Port Kembla and the creative spark that keeps it alive.

On the back, the Fearfest skull blooms with Australian native florals, waratah, banksia, and desert pea, framed by a radiant golden halo. It’s equal parts carnival and chapel: a reminder that celebration and reverence often share the same skin.

Each shirt is screen-printed by hand on heavy white cotton, designed to age beautifully, a wearable artifact of local culture, made to be lived in, marked, and remembered.

Fearfest is more than a night of masks and mischief, it’s a testament to community, creativity, and the art of showing up. This shirt carries that story proudly, stitched and printed for those who represent.
