Mini Flags : Workshop with Kait James

Inspired by her exhibition Red Flags

Free workshop for children and families

Saturday 4 July 11am - 1pm 

 

Join Wadawurrung artist Kait James for a school holiday workshop inspired by her exhibition 'Kait James: Red Flags'.

Children aged 6+ and their adults are invited to join Wadawurrung artist Kait James for a mini flag making workshop inspired by her exhibition Kait James: Red Flags. Participants will create their own mini flag embellished with unique messages that they can take home.

Please note that children under 12 must be supervised by an adult at all times. Bookings are essential.

Kait James: Red Flags is Wadawurrung artist Kait James’ most ambitious solo exhibition to date. Since 2018, James has been carving out a unique visual language based in the reappropriation of racialised products. Colloquially identified as ‘Aboriginalia’, these mass-produced, commercial objects range from souvenir tea towels and pennant flags to children’s dolls and ceramic figurines. Primarily created from the 1950s through to the 1980s for consumption by non-Indigenous tourists, they depict culturally insensitive and racially stereotyped imagery, designs and motifs.

Kait James: Red Flags is a Warrnambool Art Gallery exhibition, curated by Aaron Bradbrook and touring nationally with NETS Victoria.

This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, and the Visions of Australia program, and has received development assistance from NETS Victoria’s Exhibition Development Fund, supported by the Victorian Government through Creative Victoria.

 

Exhibition dates: 27 June – 16 August 2026, Tamworth Regional Gallery
