SLOW SOCIALS

Slow Socials are a series of gatherings from The Only Animal that invite our communities to connect through relaxed textile creation, inspiring environmental readings, eclectic music and ‘yarn-camaraderie’. Our next Slow Social event will take place on January 16. 

Dear Animal by Kendra Fanconi

Dear Animal responds to an invitation by incoming Artistic Director, Barbara Adler, to outgoing Artistic Director and co-founder of The Only Animal, Kendra Fanconi, to document a year of falling in love with a new landscape.

Upcoming Events:

Learn how to process local fibres and help us weave a stage for climate care at our Soil to Stage Finale, August 18th at the Sunshine Coast Arts Centre.

Join us in July and August for a series of ‘production parties’ where we’ll prepare for the Finale and share know-how and materials. It’s a great way to get oriented on fibreshed equipment and to meet others who are passionate about local fibres and the environment.
