IWIRI TEXTILE PROJECT

In November 2022, Ku Arts collaborated with Iwiri Aboriginal Corporation (Iwiri) in delivering a screen printing project for Iwiri members in their studio based in Port Adelaide. The project was funded by The Australia Council for the Arts, Flourish program.

The textile project was facilitated by Adelaide-based professional screen printer, Jake Holmes, who guided the artists and taught the fundamental skills and art forms of screen printing.

Artists worked together to create a textile design that was printed onto fabric with plans for this fabric to become stolls for the Iwiri choir to wear at their public performances.

The Iwiri choir plan to wear their new beautiful outfits as part of the Tarnanthi 2023 celebrations.
