SUNDAY 12 DECEMBER @ 10.30AM–2.30PM AEDT | SEVENTH GALLERY

Common Threads will see the Women’s Art Register revisit its rich feminist archive through the critical lens of decolonising and with a future vision of inclusivity.

W.A.R. members will undertake a two-week residency at Seventh Gallery, culminating in this one-day event of presentations and a workshop. Speakers will present inclusive and intergenerational projects drawn from the W.A.R. archive and its community, followed by an afternoon workshop that will take the form of a participatory game. Through this playful exploration, questions will be asked about ways to draw on and critically engage with past exhibitions and projects that championed inclusivity and diversity.

Speakers on the day will include:

  • Koorie Heritage Trust on revisiting the 1993 Can't See For Lookin': Koorie Women Artists Educating exhibition

  • Artist and W.A.R. member Katie Ryan on the intergenerational It Comes In Waves: A Conversation Series

  • Artist Irene Holub on challenges and future visions for the W.A.R. roadmap to include Deaf artists

  • Artist Claudia Pharès on her current Residency at W.A.R., motherhood and labour

  • Arts worker and W.A.R. member Leia Alex on the online mapping project This Is W.A.R!

  • Artist and W.A.R. member Caroline Phillips on her ongoing project #Imawomanartist

We invite women and gender-diverse creatives and arts workers, especially of diverse cultural backgrounds, to join us for this one-day event.

This event is supported by Seventh Gallery.


This event is sold out.
