25.01.2022 FLASH BACK FRIDAY | STITCH CULT 3 August 15 September 2018 Stitch Cult was an exhibition that investigated the social significance of embroidery and its practice.... This dynamic exhibition presented an Australian perspective on the contemporary uptake of embroidery by a new generation of artists whilst acknowledging the practices and virtuosity of the past. The artists in this exhibition tell personal and social stories through their work, addressing notions of identity, ritual, myth and value. The exhibition featured work from: Eddy Carroll Emma Greenwood Trudy Inkamala Liz Payne Demelza Sherwood Jeanette Stok Sera Waters Historical works from The Embroiderers Guild of Queensland Inc. Image: Liz Payne, Prototype (detail), 2017, acrylic on cotton with hand embroidery and beading.

21.01.2022 MAKER | The Mualgal artists of Moa Arts draw creative inspiration from their living traditions, their connections to the land, sea and sky, ancestral stories, family and totems. Through their artwork they keep those traditions alive and in the process keep Zenadth Kes arts, crafts and culture strong for everyone. We are proud and privileged to learn from these traditions, and have a responsibility to support their ongoing practice. Featured detail of screen printed tea towel by Fiona Elisala 2017.
