Stephanie Radok’s exhibition “Museum of Domestic Botany” opens this Sunday 27 September at 2pm.

Exhibition dates: September 26 - October 1
Opening times: Thursday-Sunday 11am-4pm

The Museum of Domestic Botany pays homage to the many plants we encounter and use every day, turning an ethnographic gaze onto daily life as seen in South Australian suburbia. The exhibition offers space to reflect on the sites of origin of these botanical specimens, their journeys to get here and the people who tend and harvest them, thus evoking myriad stories of interconnectedness between the earth, plants and people.

We’re SO looking forward to the opening of the Domestic Arts exhibition by @serawaters
This Sunday 27 September at 2pm.

Guest speakers:
Patrice Sharkey, Artistic Director, ACE Open
Anthony Peluso, Chief Executive, Country Arts SA

Artist talk: Sera Waters

In “Domestic Arts” Sera Waters delves into her own family history to unravel the complexities of settler colonial home-making and the contemporary significance of traditional home-crafts.
Large-scale sculptures and intricate embroideries are used to re-imagine the familial home, celebrating the knowledge and creativity of ‘women’s work’, while interrogating it’s complicity in forms of colonisation and privilege.

Exhibition dates: 26 September -1 November
Thursday-Sunday 11am - 4pm

Sera Waters Domestic Arts is a @countryarts_sa touring exhibition presented in partnership with @ace_open

The Bushfire Recovery Centre team are quietly going about their important work in Fabrik’s Building 20. Just inside the doorway is a sweet display, sent all the way from Ontario, Canada, to give encouragement to our community. Ms Pike’s Class 4 students are awesome!

With rain comes the magic. Raining poetry is hiding in clear view throughout the Hills this winter, becoming visible only when it rains. Fabrik has two treasures on our site: “These Days” by @meadipus and “Fault Lines” by @lauren_bronwyn .
Vagaries in the surface has meant Lauren’s work is a little obscured (the challenges of writing with invisible ink), so here is the writing in full:
Take my delicate heart
and place it on your fault line

This time last year on a Friday and Saturday night

This time last year on a Friday and Saturday night we were whirling and twirling the Military Two Step as part of the Weaving Stories project with @thecadfactory during the @historyfestival .
There was a time when the Onkaparinga Ball was the highlight of the year for the Woollen Mill workers. Women would come to work with their hair in rollers, ready to transition from employee to dancer when the whistle blew the end of the day’s shift.
The Military Two Step was one of the popular dances at the Ball, and during our performances last year we were treated each evening to a lesson from former Mill workers who still had all the right steps after almost 30 years.
This photo shows the shadows of the audience twirling through the dance steps, in front of a projection of paintings created during the Mill’s final months by artist Flossie Peitsch.
The second photo is a gorgeous dancing dress worn by one of the entrants in the 1968 Queen of Onkaparinga competition.
And the last photo is a real-life Queen of Onkaparinga - Sandy Hughes, who, along with her husband John, are demonstrating just how the Military Two Step is done. 💃🕺

Friends, Fabrik is closing temporarily, in line with the good governance directives of the Adelaide Hills Council's COVID-19 response.
In the meantime, like this image of the beautiful loom equipment that resides in our care - where many spools of thread in isolation contribute to making one combined cloth - we are putting our energies into finding ways to keep our creative community connected in a time when gathering face-to-face isn't possible.
So, please check back with us - we look forward to connecting with you in alternative creative ways in the times ahead. Take care.
