Gather 'round for an enlightening chinwag with artists Jane Bodaruk, Mel Booth, and Sue Jo Wright as they dive into the textile wonderland. They'll chat about how materials like embroidery have gone from grandmothers' secret parlours to cheeky tools of activism, feminism, and a good old natter about gender norms that have shaped history. Who knew stitching could pack such a punch?

Taking a cue from Rozsika Parker's game-changing book The Subversive Stitch, which declared embroidery a fierce feminist medium back in '84, this convo promises to unravel the journey of textiles from cozy crafts to bold statements of social defiance. It's going to be a leisurely chat packed with insights—and possibly a few giggles—so swing by if you're keen to see how needle and thread have turned into weapons of change. Just remember, space is limited to 30 clever souls, so grab your spot on Eventbrite if you fancy being part of the stitch squad.
