“The making of the basket, the business of women, fibrous in its nature, cellular walls evolving, has metaphorically stood as the space from which Sistas have held themselves, held each other, with data, to make our stories, to make ourselves. Our making methodology in story mirrors the fibres, weaving the cellular, touching the essence of our desires on and under our skin, to be our skin, to know ourselves through ancestral data – stitching, threading, imaging, dancing, painting – to being.”
- Bunda, et al. Storymaking Belonging, 2019.
Through this hands-on workshop, you will be guided by Central and Eastern Arrernte artist Georgia Boseley in the meditative and communal practice of weaving, where they will facilitate dialogue and reconnect you with tradition, land, and each other.
You will take home some raffia, a needle and instructions on how to finish your basket if you don’t get the chance to finish your creation in the workshop.
People of all genders are welcome to participate in the workshop.
