Join us for a Stitch and Resist workshop with the Center of Democracy at Port Pirie Regional Art Gallery.

Saturday 24th of April 1-4pm
Book via link in bio

Learn how to create political statements using cross stitch and chat about issues that matter to you. Craftivism is a way to make connections, make our voices heard, make a difference, make change.
What is Stitch & Resist? Stitch & Resist is a participatory craftivism project which explores how creativity can help us stay well, stay connected, and stay engaged with the causes we care about. What will we do in the workshop? In this workshop, you’ll learn the basics of how to create your own textile art about issues that are important to you. We will show you all the tips and techniques of cross-stitching, we will lead discussions around the issues and concerns which impact you. All Materials will be provided.

The Centre of Democracy are collecting images of these hand-stitched works to create a digital gallery that documents the issues and concerns of the time in which we now find ourselves.
Check out the works submitted so far in the Stitch & Resist online gallery. Want to get inspired before the session? Stitch & Resist have put together a range of tools, patterns and resources on their website which include a library of videos, tutorials, patterns and recommended readings on the subject of craftivism. All materials supplied on the day.

Legacy: Reflections on Mabo is the first major exh

Legacy: Reflections on Mabo is the first major exhibition to explore the life and legacy of Eddie Koiki Mabo from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives.

This exhibition is the first to incorporate significant curatorial direction by the Mabo family, and is unique in the way that the entire show is commissioned artworks created specifically for this project that have never been seen before.

This exhibition’s existence, and its significant reach to so many galleries in regions around Australia, means that the conversation about Indigenous rights continues for people of all ages – albeit through another context – art. And hopefully through this thoughtful, personal, and warm curatorial approach, Eddie’s story can be engaged with from a multitude of current perspectives, rather than being seen as something to examine from afar – through the distance of time.

Eddie’s story can also be inspiring and educational for kids. Read more in the education kit available on our website.
