Stitch in Time & 100 Voices

Whilst working with Alice Springs Women’s Shelter, I developed the Stitch in Time project. Over two years we collected and shared over 100 women’s stories of resistance to domestic violence through the creation of 10 story quilts.

I later worked with the Women’s Shelter and Elephant Island Studios to produce 100 Voices –  a series of films based on the quilt narratives and stories and songs by survivors of domestic violence. These films aired on Channel 10, Imparja and across the ICTV networks.

Going Bush, a short film created by blending the narratives and images from stories shared on the quilts by women across Central Australia. It was screened on ICTV, remote community television, Imparja and on Indigitube.

Testing Ground was a ritual of recovery, that made visible the damage to the ‘Ilparpa Claypans’, caused by dumping and invasive weeds.

Small. Slow. Humble was an invitation to consider radical alternatives to the current models of creative success. This interactive forum blended community conversation, reading group and ritual to create space for reflection, discussion and visioning about how we, as artists, might nurture small, local and inclusive practices within our individual and collective practices, in the places where we live, work and love.

What stories of trade and travel are hidden in our everyday items? A teaspoon, a phone, a pair of shoes – these objects have shadow lives filled with other people and other places.
