Episode description
Earlier this year at Melbourne Fashion Festival, Nina Fitzgerald curated Thread Count, a multimedia installation of handwoven baskets and bags from Arnhem Land and the Daly River Region of the Northern Territory.
Exhibiting the objects in a fashion festival highlighted the functionality of a beautiful Indigenous craft that has gone overlooked for too long.
In this week's episode, Harriette talks to Nina about her exhibition, Australia's recent embrace of Indigenous fashion, and the most constructive ways to support First Nation fashion workers.
