Join us in a shared session exploring a bold cross-cultural project Reclaim the Void.

Reclaim the Void was born from Ngalia elders in Leonora, Western Australia with a vision to cover a mining pit with a large-scale ‘dot’ artwork made up of thousands of handmade circular rag-rugs woven from discarded fabric.

Woven by people from all walks of life and backgrounds, the rugs will be joined together into a giant textile artwork which shows an overall pattern.

We invite you to join us, share your stories and connect with other people in the community.

Light refreshment provided.
