Artist in Residence: Hiromi Tango

2 MARCH - 11 AUGUST 2024

Museum of Brisbane

Hanabira (Gentle Petal) is a community-led project that will transform Museum of Brisbane's Adelaide Street Pavilion into a vibrant sanctuary, inspiring healing and social connection.

Communities from across Brisbane and visitors alike will be invited to create beautiful blooms and buds inspired by flowers found in Meanjin/Brisbane from upcycled textiles and local materials. Visitors are encouraged to participate in facilitated workshops, or simply drop-in and engage in self-guided activities.

As the seasons change, the handmade flowers will be added to the walls of the gallery, creating an abundant garden reflecting community engagement.

What flowers will you grow in the healing garden?

MoB’s Artist in Residence program is supported by Tim Fairfax AC.
