Led by acclaimed artist and curator Dr Paola Balla, this project brings together local First Nations artists in a striking new installation for ROAM Geelong.
Over three bush-dyeing workshops, artists Tammy Gilson, Thaedra Frangos, Nikki Whitfield, Jess McDonald and Tracey Pocock have shared stories of Country, culture, and lived experience, translating them into richly textured bush dyed fabrics.
These collaborative works will come together upstairs at Platform Arts, and be a place to gather, reflect, and immerse yourself in the voices and visions of First Nations creatives from Greater Geelong.
