Weaving matter: materials and context showcases the work of 14 contemporary practitioners, who are making their ideas visible by experimenting with diverse materials to translate political, social, personal, or environmental concerns into weavings.

Exhibiting artists include: Christine Appleby | Sally Blake | Mary Burgess | Hannah Cooper | Blake Griffiths | Amanda Ho | Lise Hobcroft | Kelly Leonard | Jennifer Robertson | Nien Schwarz | Jacqueline Stojanović | Jane Théau | Ilka White | Monique van Nieuwland
