Event description
This is a special Reconciliation Week event for members of our Mandarin-speaking community in Georges River. Join Muruwarri artist, Virginia Keft, for an interactive Aboriginal weaving and yarning circle that supports cultural connection, encourages reciprocity, and builds understanding through collaborative making.
This event will feature a Mandarin Interpreter.
Connect with others and hear about the artist's connection to culture, learn sculptural weaving techniques, share a story, and discover a new skill.
During this event, participants are invited to share time, stories, and physical space in a circle. They are then invited to contribute the pieces they make to a collaborative artwork. The resulting artwork is a beautiful conglomeration of individual works that form a whole and stand as a lasting memory of the yarn and the people who were present.
No prior experience is necessary; whether this is your first time, or you are a master weaver, all are welcome. Weaving materials will be provided. This is an all-ages event.
