Indian Ocean Craft Triennial Australia - Fables, Foibles and Folk Tales

Fables, Foibles and Folktales tells six whimsical stories crafted from memories, fantasy and hope.

These tales of the past and of imagined futures have been created by artists, Diane Binns, Valdene Diprose, Gail Hawes, Jan Mullen, Molly Ryan, Sultana Shamshi and Susie Vickery. They use weaving, embroidery, printing, video installation, collage and frottage to talk about vanishing craft traditions; showcase local and personal histories; and present endangered animals bent on saving the planet.

These fresh, rich stories reinterpret the past and suggest, through play, new ways to coexist and reinvent the world.
