Join Short Black Opera’s Deborah Cheetham AO and Melbourne couturier Linda Britten in conversation as they discuss their collaboration to create gowns especially designed for Deborah Cheetham's ‘WOVEN SONG’.

These gowns were created in response to the ATW tapestries designed by Indigenous artists including Brook Andrew, Daisy Andrews and Nanyuma Napangati for Australian Embassies and High Commissions in Singapore, Tokyo and New Delhi.

Deborah and Linda will discuss the creative response to these tapestries through performance couture. Linda will share the conceptual underpinnings of her designs and share insights about the construction of these unique gowns which feature as the centrepieces of the ATW's current exhibition.
