In the leadup to International Women’s Day, Moonah Arts Centre (MAC) is showcasing local talent with paintings, poetry, music and more.
PERFORM
The concert SHE features an all-female lineup of Tassie’s best talent, including Gabrielle Gartrell, The Runaway Belles, Hannah Price and Iggy. Spanning a huge breadth of lived experience, these women bring storytelling to their performances with powerful results. Prepare to be surprised, moved and delighted.
Gabrielle Gartrell’s performance poetry is raw, gritty and playful. She challenges common social constructs as she steps ever deeper into the unpredictability of life.
The Runaway Belles is a Tasmanian based indie folk pop act featuring Tash Parker and Emma Anglesey. With a focus on storytelling and making their two voices sound as one, Tash and Emma sing in constant harmony.
At only 10 years old, Iggy is the youngest performer of the concert. She is humorous, playful, dark, and downright musical!
SHE is at MAC on Sat 27 Feb, 12 – 3pm. Book online at www.moonahartscentre.org.au.
EXHIBIT
Paintings, installations and cross stitch — 3 exhibitions are on display at MAC until 20 March.
Andrea Green’s Roulette is a personal response to over a decade of using the contraceptive pill. Andrea’s work sits against the backdrop of global debates around bodily autonomy, equality, and women’s rights, and the ongoing nature of the struggle for an equal, respectful world.
Adrienne Charles’ Nostalgia Tasmania is a very special opportunity to see her exquisite counted cross stitch designs of historic and iconic places in Tasmania. Adrienne describes her work as ‘tourism through craft’. She has been designing and producing counted cross stitch kits since 1989.
Jo Chew’s A Song for the Unsettled explores ideas of home and belonging. Her paintings speak of temporary shelter and nomadic experiences. She is interested in the need to protect ourselves in our homes, balanced with the need to move on.
