FUTURE TRADITIONS, ART GALLERY OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA

26 Nov 2022 to 16 Apr 2023

Future Traditions

In this second iteration of the Guildhouse Fellowship, South Australian artist Sera Waters imagines a new future for us all – one where ancient textile traditions can craft hope in the face of climate change.

Waters is well known for her revival of endangered ways of making, whereby age-old embroidery techniques are restored to comment on our complex and often confronting colonial histories. In this exhibition, the past paves the way for a new future and by reclaiming the traditions that our great-great-great-grandmothers performed we can move, together, towards an alternative liveable future.

Critically Future Traditions hinges on community and those who have kept this knowledge alive over generations. A shared space, the exhibition includes experiments, artefacts, texts, events, workshops and works of art.

The Guildhouse Fellowship was inaugurated in 2019 with the generous support of leading philanthropists, the James & Diana Ramsay Foundation, to recognise and elevate South Australian artistic ambition.

Future Traditions is on display in Gallery 8 at the Art Gallery of South Australia from 26 Nov 2022 to 16 Apr 2023. 

Supported by Guildhouse and James & Diana Ramsay Foundation
