PART OF IOTA21: INDIAN OCEAN CRAFT TRIENNIAL, SUPPORTED BY LOTTERYWEST

Curated by Leanne Bray

HOLD pays homage to functional basketry and the purposeful application of craft skills. It celebrates the domestic intent of baskets and the unique artistry behind them, capturing the spirit of their maker. This exhibition brings together contemporary makers and examples of historical basketry to commemorate this foundational artform, combining cultures, geographies, time periods, and communities.
