Threads of Modernism | Talk and Demonstration

Celebrate the closing weekend of Modern Women: Flight of Time with an exploration of pioneering textile artist Ilse von Randow, led by weaving and textile artist Kathryn Tsui and Julia Waite, curator of Modern Women.

The talk will also explore contemporary responses to von Randow’s work by artists Ruth Buchanan and Dr Bronwyn Lloyd.
