Description
An Artisan travelling exhibition, toured by Museum and Gallery Services Queensland. Tinker Tailor Soldier Sailor: 100 Women 100 Brooches 100 Stories, is from an old rhyme that little girls would chant to predict the profession of their future spouse. Not in their wildest dreams could they have imagined that all the professions listed would one day be open to women.
... moreThis exhibition celebrates the 2011 centenary of International Women's Day, and the rhyme was a starting point for 100 of Australia's finest women jewellers to make a brooch in response to the professional achievements of 100 Australian women in every field imaginable-from tinker to tailor, bishop to soldier, bullocky to lawyer. This exhibition is supported by Visions of Australia, an Australian Government program supporting touring exhibitions by providing funding assistance for the development and touring of Australian cultural material across Australia.
