Mindi Weaving Workshop

Celebrate the opening weekend of Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir with a weaving demonstration and workshop led by Girramay artist and weaver Erica Muriata. A close collaborator of Tony Albert's, she recently reunited with him to create new work for his solo exhibition at the MCA.

Mindi basket weaving is a cultural tradition of the Girramay, Jirrbal and Gulnay peoples. Used for carrying small items such as message sticks, mindi baskets preserve cultural knowledge and are works of art. This workshop is a special opportunity to learn about this important cultural practice from a renowned traditional weaver. All are invited to participate, with non-traditional materials to be used.

This program has limited capacity. We recommend arriving early to take your place. All materials supplied.
