SUMMARY:'Rematriate' by Jessika Spencer
DESCRIPTION:‘Rematriate’ is a feminist\, Indigenous reimagining of the word “repatriate\,” intentionally disrupting colonial language to recentre matriarchal knowledge\, care\, and cultural continuity. Through large scale woven banners and textile installations\, Jessika Spencer expands her weaving practice into immersive acts of cultural resistance and renewal. \nWorking with secondhand textiles\, raffia and naturally dyed materials\, Spencer draws on weaving as both ancestral practice and contemporary craft activism. The labour intensive process of stitching\, knotting\, repairing\, and binding becomes a political gesture\, asserting the value of women’s work\, cultural maintenance\, and intergenerational knowledge systems often dismissed within colonial histories of art and design. \n‘Rematriate’ considers what it means to reclaim cultural space through making: to hold memory within fibre\, to honour Indigenous women’s practices\, and to imagine futures grounded in sustainability and sovereignty. \nThrough fibre and textile installation\, ‘Rematriate’ speaks to survival\, protest\, healing\, and the ongoing rematriation of culture back into Indigenous hands. \nImage: Jessika Spencer\, 2025\, Natural and Studio Dyed Raffia\, Hair\, Fishing Line\, Wood\, 140 x 75cm\,.

SUMMARY:The Deep Blue Sea
DESCRIPTION:Chaika Theatre presents a fresh\, emotionally charged interpretation of Terence Rattigan’s The Deep Blue Sea\, a timeless exploration of love\, loss\, and personal struggle. \nSet in the post-war austerity of 1950s London\, the play follows Hester Collyer\, a woman trapped in a turbulent affair with a passionate but troubled ex-fighter pilot\, while grappling with the devastating consequences of her emotional isolation. \nThis new production breathes life into Rattigan’s masterpiece\, with a bold\, modern sensibility and intimate staging that captures the raw complexity of human relationships. \nWith powerful performances and a delicate balance between despair and resilience\, Chaika Theatre’s The Deep Blue Sea is a poignant journey into the heart of a woman’s battle for self-liberation.
