Marhaba, my name is Nicole Barakat. I am a Lebanese artist living on the lands of the Gadigal People. My art practice is all about textiles. From the luscious tactile materials to the careful, time consuming and labour-intensive techniques I have inherited from my grandmothers, my love for textiles is the centre of my world.

One of the many things I make in my practice are hand stitched hexagon quilts that I gift to the children in my family. I use fabric scraps from my own sewing projects and those of my sisters and mother. Each hexagon and piece of fabric tells a story of our family. Although I made these alone, quilts are sometimes made collaboratively, with many hands and storytellers involved.

Nicole Barakat is located at Hut 45B.
