Launching tonight from 5pm In Domestic Arts Sera W Launching tonight from 5pm
In Domestic Arts Sera Waters delves into her own family history to unravel the complexities of settler colonial home-making and the contemporary significance of traditional home-crafts. Large-scale sculptures and intricate embroideries are used to re-imagine the familial home, celebrating the knowledge and creativity of ‘women’s work’, while interrogating its complicity in forms of colonisation and privilege.
Presented by @countryarts_sa  in partnership with @ace_open .
