VERY CROSS STITCHING

Tal Fitzpatrick

Wednesday 11 November
12pm - 1pm
Canberra Contemporary
Free, bookings essential

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. 

This project is supported by Canberra Contemporary, Craft + Design Canberra Festival, and artsACT through City of Design funding. The development of this project was supported by HOTA Home of the Arts through the ArtKeeper Program.
