Tapestry
This tapestry hung in the entryway of the 262 building from 1985 until it closed in 2014. Its creation was a community project – a group of 27 people (mostly deaf, with some hearing family and friends) in South Australia worked with an experienced tapestry artist to stitch and assemble the letters of the fingerspelling alphabet. An iconic South Australian work of art, it featured in an exhibition at the Art Gallery of South Australia called “Radical Textiles” during 2024-2025. The tapestry can also be seen in the video below.
