An Ararat Regional Art Gallery and NETS Victoria touring exhibition, curated by Dr Belinda von Mengersen.

Slipstitch presents an Australian perspective on the contemporary uptake of embroidery by a new generation of artists.

Sculptural stitchings, layered paintings and coiled vessels all feature in See Unseen. Three artists, Deidre But-Husaim, Helen Fuller and Sera Waters are connected by their exploration of the many carefully crafted layers of thread, paint and clay.

New work by nine contemporary Australian artists, Morgan Allender, Troy-Anthony Baylis, Domenico de Clario, Siamak Fallah, Lisa Gorton, Julie Henderson, Brigid Noone, Lee Salomone and Sera Waters, presented ‘in conversation’ with objects from South Australian museums and archives, provide ranging responses to Australia’s colonial past. Works include projections, soundscapes, sculpture, painting and performance set within a purpose-built space.

A companion publication titled 'Into the Light’ that documented the history and key works of the CCWA was released to coincide with the exhibition, which also featured a symposium – 'Are we there yet?’ – discussing women’s participation in art and art history and the future of feminism in the arts.
