Mami Watta are turning six, and to celebrate they are hosting their first ever Beading Exhibition in Sydney (Eora), showcasing the works of different beading artists who will exhibit unique beaded works around the concept of Beading Is~
Join Mami Watta at 107 Green Square for the official opening celebration that will include a live line-up of artists who pay tribute to ancestral connections to Mother Earth through the merge of traditional rhythms and digital sounds. Also guest speakers and live dancers! And of course a Mami Watta Market stall with unique designs for this event only.
We are proud to host this incredible celebration of all the immense body of work Mami Watta Collections have achieved as a handmade innovative jewellery brand; as a social project feeding back resources to many Indigenous communities in Colombia; and also more recently for bringing traditional forms of Latin American beading practices as tools for mindfulness, craft and community connections to Australia.
This year Mami Watta have made a callout for local beading artists in NSW to gather in an unforgettable exhibition titled: Beading Is~ The exhibition will showcase the infinite possibilities that the practice of beading has for many artists, individuals and communities.
You are invited to attend our official opening, a ticketed event for a very special small number of guests; come and share Mami Watta's amazing achievements through a lineup of live music, guest speakers and entertainment curated by multi-media artist Oroana and Founder of Mami Watta Collections.
Drinks can be purchased on the evening. All profits loop back into supporting 107 Projects as a creative and cultural community hub.
