Talking Tapa & Fashion- exhibitions

If you're visiting Brisbane or are a local, here are 2 free textile exhibitions to visit at the Museum of Brisbane, Brisbane City Hall, King George Square.
Talking Tapa - Pasifika Bark Cloth in Queensland, open until October 11 was a delightful surprise for me as I was a day too early to see the In Fashion- Dressing up Brisbane exhibition on til November 29, 10am- 5pm daily.
Tapa is most commonly made from the inner bark of the Paper Mulberry tree. An interesting array of beating clubs, natural colouring agents & stencils was part of the exhibition.
