TWEET-ing (like a bird...!)

A project in South West Victoria is re-claiming the TWEET! Five host organisations in six towns in the South West region are taking up the task to try and collect 500 handmade textile birds before the end of December 2010. This 'flock' of birds will then take flight in each host town for an exhibition or display in 2011. We'll keep you posted about dates through this blog so keep checking.
This project is inspired by a project called 'Twitter', designed and initated by Gippsland artist Andrea Lane in 2009.
