From the organiser
Join feminist artist and craftivist Dr Tal Fitzpatrick for a Very Cross Stitch workshop, as part of her solo exhibition Quietly Seething: Fate, Fury and Transmutation at Canberra Contemporary. Participants will be invited to stitch directly into her exhibition artwork, while sharing and connecting over what makes them cross.
Quietly Seething: Fate, Fury and Transmutation is a socially engaged artwork that makes space for a conversation about the power and pain of feminine rage using the gentle and familiar textures of cloth. This workshop is beginner friendly and suitable for ages 8+ (children under 16 to be accompanied by an adult). Canberra Contemporary is a diverse, inclusive, accepting, welcoming safe space for everyone. If you have any access needs please feel free to contact the gallery ahead of time to discuss.
