Symposium: What is Contemporary Weaving?

To coincide with the exhibitions, Mutukaku Ngura: Motorcar Country and Weaving matter: materials and context, Australian Design Centre presents an industry symposium based around the question, ‘What is contemporary weaving’.

Through a mediated discussion between three contemporary weavers with curatorial experience, the session will tease out the place of weaving in design and craft practice today, with an emphasis on European and First Nations weaving practices and traditions. Ideas around culture, historical influences, conceptual frameworks and the use of materials will be explored through the diverse experiences of Blake Griffiths, Dr. Virginia Keft and Liz Williamson.

When: Thursday 11 May 2023, session 6-8pm and program 6:30-7:30pm

Free event, booking essential.
