Crafty Party with Hiromi Tango
Weave some magic into your Thursday evening.
For one night only, the Museum of Brisbane welcome you into the exuberant world of Hiromi Tango, a vibrant celebration of colour and sculptural form. During this special workshop, you’ll explore Hiromi’s study of cyclical peptides, a miracle of a natural medicine which will help inspire you to sculpt bold organic shapes. Using special weaving techniques, Hiromi will guide you through turning pre-loved silks and materials into a wearable piece of art.
At the end of the workshop Hiromi will invite you to stay on for a gentle celebration with the group, full of music and joy.

2.5 Hour Artist-Led workshop by Hiromi Tang

About Hiromi Tango
Hiromi Tango creates spaces for expression, healing and transformation. She applies scientific understandings of the brain – including epigenetics and neuroplasticity – to her work, and frequently collaborates with experts in neuroscience. She produces sculptural installations that invite audience engagement and often incorporate performance.
Hiromi’s process is cumulative; she weaves, wraps and stitches over everyday objects and materials before joining them together to construct immersive environments. Through engaging all the senses, the artist redirects attention to our bodies and sharpens our emotional awareness. Her participatory workshops, performances and installations encourage us to reflect more meaningfully upon ourselves and our social connections.
