‘Crossing seas and following stars’ examines star motifs embroidered on historic Palestinian cushions depicting the Australian flag. These embroideries were specifically produced for Australian troops stationed in Palestine during World War Two.  The flags contain Southern Cross constellations askew, loosely interpreted by the women who made them. The exhibition plays with the religious overtones of the Southern Cross, from the place where Christianity originated, to consider both the cultural confluences and disjunctures of relations between Australia and Palestine.
