Description Steeped in a rich history of Australian Trade Unionism, the Sydney Trades Hall is the perfect setting for this politically charged flag-making workshop. Expanding the notions of participatory democracy in unexpected ways, Sussi Porsborg will take attendees on a live sewing performance that doubles as an educational conversation on the intersections of radical art, nationalism, politics and labour rights.
