Patterns for Future Living

Patterns for Future Living

Bringing together DIY (do-it-yourself) aesthetics with a DIT (do-it-together) ethos.

World Premiere

By Rae Haynes

Engage, contemplate, and discover an expansive interconnected future with Patterns for Future Living, a dynamic DIY exhibition that stirs collective action for environmental and ecological justice.

Inspired by modernist artist Sonia Delaunay Terk, this space fosters meditation and care through an immersive installation of rhythmic colour, pattern, and sound.

Commissioned for the Brisbane Festival and Metro Arts, this visionary body of work explores future living patterns, underscoring the interconnectedness of all living things.
