Join us for our June Weaving workshop to mark the end of NRW. This month we are happy to welcome Georgia Boseley off the back of her Melbourne Design Week showcase at shopKHT.
Come along to make a pair of earrings or a keychain using locally-harvested grasses. Explore the joy of making with these Indigenous materials and learning a traditional skill.
GEORGIA BOSELEY is an award-winning Central and Eastern Arrernte artist and researcher living in Naarm. Her practice and research are grounded in resistance. She critiques the ongoing structures of colonial occupation and refuses institutional legibility, the colonial gaze, and the demand to translate herself for settler consumption. Her work is anti-colonial and anti-capitalist, and engages with intergenerational trauma, and the importance of relational being and connection.
Her work documents the complexity and resistance of living as a First Nations person today. Boseley creates contemporary sculptural works using traditional weaving practices, alongside large-scale paintings and ceramic sculptures. Her practice often moves across disciplines and materials, embracing mixed media as a third place, a space of experimentation Her works are held in private collections across the country and in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Victoria.
Boseley has a Bachelor of Arts (Politics & International Studies) from the University of Melbourne and a Master of Contemporary Art from the Victorian College of the Arts (VCA).
We gratefully acknowledge the generous support of our public programming partners: Krystyna Campbell-Pretty and Family; and the Orloff Family Foundation.
