Boroondara Arts :Craft, Expression & Identity

Boroondara Arts presents Craft Contemporary

A celebration of the multifaceted art of craft. For the entire month of October 2021, the program welcomed  people of all ages and experience levels, to participate in a series of online events, workshops, exhibitions and panel discussions. It was a chance to learn from some of Australia’s best crafters and discover the joy of craft-making.

The program includes interactive workshops on all areas of craft, including collage-making, fabric printing, paper sewing, visible mending, weaving, sculpture making, quilted textiles, and more.

Other highlights included a panel discussion with Sai-Wai Foo, Aaron Billings, Tantri Mustika and Chenai Mupotsa-Russell, who discuss what does our craft-making say about us? What does our creative practice allow us to express? How does this form our individual identity in society? Audiences are invited to join this conversation as the artists share their own lived experiences.
