Tammy Kanat: Circle of Her

18 Sep 2025 – 22 Mar 2026

The Jewish Museum of Australia invites you into the Circle of Her this Spring & Summer with Tammy Kanat. The celebrated fibre artist’s most ambitious body of work to date, Circle of Her explores female archetypes through large-scale woven installations. Immersive, sculptural & deeply personal, it’s a meditation on material storytelling, connection & renewal.

Along with archetypes such as Lilith, Miriam, Sarah & Ruth, the sculptures pay tribute to the women in the artist’s own life – her mother, daughters, sister, friends & fellow artists – all part of a circle that holds, nurtures & binds. For at its heart, Circle of Her is about honouring the threads that shape us, the women we come from, those beside us & the ones we carry within.

‘As I began working, I found myself listening differently, not to the materials, but to something internal & somehow older than me. These pieces are vessels for presence, intuition & transformation’ – Tammy Kanat.

A range of events and programs will be held in association with this exhibition. For details, visit: https://www.jewishmuseum.com.au/whats-on/
