Live Skin-Stitch Tattoo Performance with Stacey Fayant
As a companion to her piece in "If You Prick Me Do I Not Bleed", Stacey Fayant will perform a traditional skin-stitch tattoo in the gallery.
Artist Stacey Fayant will conduct a live skin-stitch tattooing performance in conjunction with the exhibition If You Prick Me, Do I Not Bleed? inviting family, community and the public to understand Indigenous Cultural Tattooing traditions as acts of healing and care. Fayant will bestow traditional marks on her daughter in accordance with safety guidelines and traditional protocols. The event aims to heal historical rifts for Indigenous people and shift attitudes about tattoos. The artist notes that tattooing was traditionally a community event, and invites the public to acknowledge the emotional, spiritual and physical vulnerability of the artist and her daughter. The event is free and open to all interested people, and includes an intercultural panel discussion of traditional tattooing practices with local and international tattooists.
