About this event
Join for a short romp through Susie’s life, packed with stitching, travels and community collaboration. From costume to community art, by way of puppets and automata, she is always on the move and has worked in different countries and with various communities, developing community art around their concerns, gender based violence, health, birth and loss of habitat.
Her own embroideries are inspired by these experiences, and experiments with getting movement into her work with stitched automata and animations. In recent years she has been creating immersive exhibitions, where the viewer enters a story told with interactive puppets and automata.
Please note that this ticket is for a recording of the live event on 7 May. Tickets for the live event are available here. You will be emailed access details to the recording by 21 May. The recording is not downloadable but will be available for viewing until at least 21 June, 2025.

Susie Vickery worked for two decades as a costumier for theatre in the UK and Australia. After moving to South Asia she studied embroidery and worked as a craft consultant with income-generation projects in India, Nepal, Tibet, Myanmar, Mexico and Turkey. She also facilitated community workshops, making art with recycled and local materials.
Susie uses her development work and her concerns about the degradation of the environment and climate change, as inspiration for her story-telling with embroidered animations, puppets, automata and textile pieces.
