CELEBRATING THE TAPESTRIES OF THE SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE

 
 

In 2020, Sydney Opera House celebrated their tapestries with an online collection of exhibits and podcasts. I was commissioned to write/curate the Google Arts and Culture exhibits and had the opportunity to use the new ‘stories’ design tools the GA&C now offers content maker. I particularly enjoyed writing about the history and evolution of Baroque principles, and Le Corbusier’s Les Dés sont Jetés, You may also be interested to explore my curation of John Coburn’s tapestry curtains at Sydney Opera House.
