A powerful juxtaposition of colour and patterns, this display showcases over 40 Macedonian aprons from the Illawarra region, traditionally used for weddings, other special occasions and everyday use. The design of the aprons will be highlighted alongside historic images and women’s stories.
Ties with tradition is a project of the Powerhouse Museum’s NSW Migration Heritage Centre in collaboration with the Macedonian Welfare Association Inc. based on an original concept produced by Meredith Walker and Mendo Trajcevski, supported by the Illawarra Migration Heritage Project Inc. and the Powerhouse Museum’s Regional Services.
