Tal Fitzpatrick

Tal Fitzpatrick is an Israeli born, Melbourne based artist, craftivist, feminist, researcher

sharing of stories, Tal’s works explores art’s ability to drive social change by engaging
people in complex conversations and creating temporary communities. Tal takes a
socially-engaged approach to making her textile works which combines the techniques
of appliqué quilting and embroidery with social media and participatory art making. Tal
