Opening February 2026 · Sandgate, Queensland
The inaugural Heritage Hands exhibition brings together portraits, stories and process documentation of eight artisans who represent some of Australia’s most endangered crafts. Presented through large-scale photography and intimate accompanying text, the exhibition offers a rare glimpse into the lived worlds of makers whose skills are at risk of disappearing.
Across umbrellas, bookbinding, natural dyeing, spinning, toolmaking, weaving and more, each artisan reveals a lifetime of embodied knowledge — techniques shaped by culture, geography, memory and practice. Their hands hold stories that machines cannot replicate.
The exhibition invites audiences to slow down, observe closely and rediscover the beauty of handmade work in an increasingly digital and disposable world.
It is both a celebration and a quiet act of preservation.
Educational programming (optional: workshops, Q&A, school visits)
