'Woven Together: Undivided We Rise Panel Discussion'
FREE ENTRY | 11:30am Saturday 20 September
With artists Kim Ah Sam, Jayme-Lee Harley, Clare Jaque Vasquez, Jaeda Lenoy, Erica Muriata, Aunty Rosalind Sailor and Michona Warria with curator Sabrina-Rose Toby and Umbrella Director Kate O'Hara
Join participating artists, exhibition curator Sabrina-Rose Toby and Umbrella's Director Kate O'Hara for a special panel discussion exploring the journey behind 'Woven Together: Undivided We Rise'. Emerging from the 2024 Woven Together Conference, this exhibition grew into a deeply immersive experience celebrating First Nations Culture, resilience, and community. Artists Kim Ah Sam, Jayme-Lee Harley, Clare Jaque Vasquez, Jaeda Lenoy, Erica Muriata, Aunty Rosalind Sailor and Michona Warria will share their creative processes, personal reflections, and the collaborative spirit that shaped the exhibition. Together, they will discuss how weaving serves as both a Cultural practice and a form of healing, self-care, and storytelling.
This conversation offers a rare opportunity to hear directly from the artists about the significance of their work, the strength of shared knowledge, and the importance of Cultural continuity. Audiences are invited to connect with the themes of growth, identity, and the enduring power of community through art.
'Woven Together: Undivided We Rise' is on display from 19 September - 2 November 2025.
