Mobile making at Meroogal

This creative mobile-making activity takes inspiration from Tina Matthews’s mobile work currently on display in the Meroogal Women’s Art Prize 2024 exhibition and the lives of the extraordinary women that called Meroogal home.

Loved and maintained by four generations of women from one local family, Meroogal still overflows with cherished belongings. Books, ornaments, furniture, photographs, diaries and journals, recipes and receipts – all tell a multitude of stories about the pleasures and labours of daily life, the Meroogal women and the south-coast community in which they lived.

Using simple materials, create your own mobile inspired by the everyday lives of these thrifty, resourceful and creative women.

Suitable for all ages

Available on Saturdays during the Meroogal Women’s Art Prize exhibition
