About Chaco Kato's ephemeral public art

Exhibition: Sunday 8 March - Sunday 19 April

Location: Community Grow and Play Garden -Lyons Street, Rye

Chaco's project recognises the many ways women sustain cultural knowledge through everyday practices — from handmaking and repair to nurturing environments and communities.

Kato’s work reflects how creativity is often embedded in daily life, and how women’s contributions are expressed through ongoing, often unseen labour rather than permanent or monumental forms.
