Loved the live stream about the The Rajah quilt up close with the NGA. Amazing presentation and fascinating history about the convict women who worked on this quilt.

The Rajah quilt is one of Australia’s most important textiles, and a major focus of the National Gallery’s textiles collection. While it is a work of great documentary importance in Australia’s history, it is also an extraordinary work of art; a product of beauty from the hands of many women who, while in the most abject circumstances, were able to work together to produce something of hope.
I visited recently the NGA in August to see the actual quilt live. It’s amazing up-close. I recommend seeing it if you can, it’s not out for long!
