KINGSTON WEAVING

Kingston Weaving is a First Nations led, community project by Boandik artists Sonya, Sarah and Suzy Smith in Kingston, South East, South Australia.

The work explores the return of water in the area through the cultural representation of animal totems as temporary sculptural outcomes – interconnecting traditional weaving techniques, language and knowledge towards the creation of a large -scale temporary art installation of enduring cultural significance.

Kingston Weaving is a new work commissioned by OSCA as part of our Projects of the Everyday initiative.

Stay tuned as we announce more workshops in Kingston across 2024/25.

We would like to thank everyone who took part at Janet’s diner and the Kingston Community School students and staff.
