Join artist Nicole Barakat in a fabric and paper drop-in to create a communal artwork. In this workshop, families will have the opportunity to express their creativity through activities inspired by paper piecing and quilt blocking, then experience the collaborative process of creating a communal artwork.

Afterwards join Powerhouse staff on a tour to learn more about different materials in the Powerhouse Collection.

Artist

Nicole Barakat is a Kfarsghabi Lebanese artist living on the lands and waters of the Gadigal People. She works with deep listening and intuitive processes with intentions to transform the conditions of everyday life. Her artwork engages unconventional approaches to artmaking, creating intricate works that embody the love and patience characteristic of traditional textile practices. Her works include hand-stitched and hand-cut cloth and paper drawings, sculptural forms made with her own hair, cloth and plant materials as well as live work where she uses her voice as a material.
