This time last year was a frantic time of preparing for the "Stitched Up" exhibition opening at "The Lock Up" Newcastle, NSW , Australia. Here is a beautiful visual record of the memorable experience of being involved in this exhibition and honouring 193 previously forgotten girls from The Newcastle Industrial School 1867-1871. Thanks to co curator, Anne Kempton from Timeless Textiles Gallery, Nancy Crawford for the narration of this video ( Nancy is one of the featured artists in this exhibition ) and Konrad Breuers for the video imagery. Thank also to all the artists who participated in this project and to Jane Ison, whose research made this project possible and real. Wilma Simmons ( Co-curator, Stitched Up )
