Curated by form & concept Project Space Curator Tiana Japp, this group exhibition delves into the contemporary and transformative essence of beadwork, celebrating five Indigenous artists' innovative aesthetics and the alluring materiality of beads themselves.
The materials and techniques employed in beadwork have deep and adaptive roots that wind through history and engage in contemporary cultural dialogues. Beyond their artistic value, beads serve as a nexus for knowledge sharing and acts of resistance within Indigenous community.
