Join us for an artist talk + participatory workshop with Subversive Threads artist Rae Haynes, in conversation with Courtney Pederson and Georgia Hayward.Subversive Threads is a new solo exhibition by artist Rae Haynes. Known for a contemporary feminist practice that interrogates gender ethics and the language of abstraction through text-based works, textiles, and installation, Haynes brings together personal history and political inquiry in this exhibition.The work emerges from Haynes’ research into the legacies of embroidery in feminist art, particularly through the lens of Rozsika Parker’s seminal text The Subversive Stitch (1984). This inquiry led to the discovery of genealogical connections to Mary Linwood (1755-1845), a pioneering British textile artist and educator renowned for her 'needle painting' technique and public exhibitions in 19th-century London. Further archival investigation revealed that in the 1890s, Haynes’ ancestors Claudia and Ada Hull established Linwood College in Bulanaming/Marrickville, named in honour of Mary Linwood.The conversation will be followed by a Q&A.Explore the exhibition here.
