Following the enormous success and attraction of IOTA21, in 2024, Western Australia community can again enjoy a programme of exhibitions, workshops and talks that invite cultural exchange through the medium of contemporary craft.

With the theme of Codes in Parallel, Fables, Foibles and Folktales was selected as one of the exhibitions to feature in the highlighted catalogue exhibitions.

This exhibition tells six whimsical stories crafted from memories, fantasy and hope.

These tales of the past and of imagined futures have been created by artists, Diane Binns, Valdene Diprose, Gail Hawes, Jan Mullen, Molly Ryan, Sultana Shamshi and Susie Vickery. They use weaving, embroidery, printing, video installation, collage and frottage to talk about vanishing craft traditions; showcase local and personal histories; and present endangered animals bent on saving the planet.

These fresh, rich stories reinterpret the past and suggest, through play, new ways to coexist and reinvent the world.
