The Mill is excited to present Threads, a solo exhibition by regional First Nations artist Kat Bell. She explores the threads of memories and dreams that are stretched and broken through trauma, and their role in the healing journey.

People are invited to join the exhibition opening on Friday, August 4, 5:30-7:30pm in The Mill Exhibition Space, 154 Angas St, Kaurna Yarta. The event is free to attend.

As a First Nation Gudjula and Girramay woman, mother, and autistic person, Kat is interested in using a range of art forms to create narratives about her life experiences, in particular surviving complex trauma (e.g. C-PTSD, DV, sexual violence), and most importantly what it means for her to be a neuro-diverse Aboriginal woman navigating a neurotypical world. These experiences sit at the core of her artistic practice. She is passionate about continually learning and sharing her Aboriginal cultures and reimagining them in a contemporary context, while also drawing on her experiences living and travelling to other places around the world. She draws on these influences, and her love for country and the colours that lather the Australian landscapes.
