Opening Event Friday 17 January 6 pmOpening Speaker: Bec Young, Access2Arts, CE
Have you ever wondered “If fabrics could speak what stories they would tell? What stories of making, family, history or culture?”
The artist has known that fabrics bind stories within their weft and warp from an early age. Her mother is a dressmaker and many of her memories of her are intertwined with the fabrics that passed through her creative hands.
Catherine reached out to the community and asked them “If your fabric could speak, what story would it tell?”
In this exhibition, focused on community engagement and inclusion, we celebrate our creative community through stories gathered over two years. 40 participants aged from 4 to 92 share sometimes quite ordinary fabrics and the extraordinary memories that linger in the fibres.
Discover these textile tales in an audio-described experience, combining paintings, photography and digital storytelling where memories persist and fabrics endure.
Winner of the Adelaide Fringe Best Visual and Design Award 2024 and UnitCare Services Best Digital Media Award SALA 2024.
Exhibition concludes on Friday 14 February at 4 pm.
