Bound by Thread brings together work by artists from the Naarm Textile Collective who are exploring the creative possibilities of thread in their work. The exhibition showcases contemporary textile art from local and regional Victorian artists, exploring a diverse range of approaches that experiment with new ways of working, bringing different cultural perspectives, and subverting the medium in exciting ways.
Thread practices are woven through cultures and generations, a creative process that provides both opportunities for social connection, and individual expression.
From functional objects to aesthetic works, social projects to political practices, Bound by Thread explores the meanings bound into these works and the ways in which objects can generate memory and identity.
The Gallery will be transformed into a welcoming and lively space — full of colour, conversation and inspiration.
