SAQA - Opposites

An exhibition exploring the links or tensions between
opposites; ideas, personalities, perspectives, and
the natural world.

We encounter opposites in many ways in our daily lives; sometimes they represent conflicting ideas, but other times they are two halves of the same one. An exhibition by SAQA Oceania.

Now in its 14th year, this year’s RepaiRED theme explores ideas of repair, restoration and renewal through textile art, with up to 80 inspiring works on display.
