Braided art - an introduction

From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 25 March 2025

The beauty of braided art will be on display at the Basement Theatre next week as part of the 'HER* A women's festival' in Auckland.

From intricate head adornments to stunning sculptural pieces, Mary Adeosun's collection showcases both the beauty and cultural significance of braiding.

Mary Adeosun, also known as Mary Dah Fairy, talks to Jesse about braiding and what it means as a practice, both artistic and cultural.
