Contemporary art and community

The discussion focuses on ‘Threaded Connections’, commissioned by Lismore Regional Gallery as an explorative project to articulate a sense of community identity, history and belonging. Designed by contemporary textile artist, Lucille Martin, it was created in collaboration with over 40 members of the Lismore and District Embroiderer’s Group over two years. The work weaves together past and present stories of everyday life in Lismore and surrounds, the geographic and social history of the district, and the role of women in building this history. http://www.lismoregallery.org/
