Join us at Hurstville Museum & Gallery to celebrate the launch of our new exhibition Woven from a hundred flowers, an exploration of the rich culture and diverse stories of the Nepalese community in the Georges River region.
This special Open Day invites visitors of all ages to experience a vibrant program of performances and creative activities, offering meaningful ways to connect with the exhibition.
Along with some wonderful activities and performances rom the local Nepalese community Artist in Residence Lada Dedić has been invited to hold a Contemplative Cartography drop-in workshop, creating a one-of-a-kind collaborative artwork that celebrates community, creativity and place.
Each participant will decorate a small 10 x 10 cm section of the map using a selection of materials and their own creative expression. These individual pieces will then be brought together to form a vibrant, collective artwork that reflects the diversity and identity of our community.
No experience is needed, just bring your curiosity and creativity. This is a relaxed, drop-in activity and everyone is welcome to take part.
The final artwork will be exhibited at Hurstville Museum & Gallery as part of a special closing event on Saturday 29th August, where Lada Dedić will share insights into her process. Participants will also have the opportunity to take home a small section of the completed artwork as a memento of their contribution.
