Pay what you can – this talk is given to try and raise funds to protect the future of the jacquard loom

The Jacquard Loom Network is hosting an In Conversation event on the practices of repair, maintenance, and community. The speakers, key members of the Jacquard Network, will discuss what it means to maintain 18th century logic and 20-year-old circuitry as an act of collective care: reconnecting people to production, cultivating respect for materials, and building a resilient knowledge network in the face of generational and industry contraction.

Acknowledgement of Country

Across Victoria’s Midwest, we acknowledge that we travel across the ancient landscapes of many First Peoples communities. These lands have been nurtured and cared for over tens of thousands of years and we respect the work of Traditional Custodians for their ongoing care and protection.

We recognise the past injustices against Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in this country. As our knowledge grows, we hope that we can learn from their resilience and creativity that has guided them for over 60,000 years. As we invite people to visit and explore Victoria’s Midwest, we ask that alongside us, you also grow to respect the stories, living culture and connection to Country of the Ancestors and Elders of our First Peoples.
