Re-Register: Australian Women Sculptors from the Women’s Art Register is the inaugural Women's Art Register Artist-In-Residence program. During her residency, artist Julia Boros explored the 1978 Women’s Art Register research project Profile of Australian Women Sculptors: 1860–1960 by Bonita Ely and Anna Sande. This collection of photographs, slide kit and publication was shown at the Seventh Mildura Sculpture Triennial, in response to the lack of representation of women artists.
Julia reinterpreted the material from this collection through screen printing, creating works with textiles and on paper. The project included exhibitions of Julia's work at Richmond Town Hall and Richmond Library, including archival displays and a substantial catalogue publication (designed by Sahra Martin) with commissioned essays by the artist, Anna Sande, Bonita Ely and Katve-Kaisa Kontturi.
This project was supported by a City of Yarra Annual Grant and the City of Yarra Exhibition Program.
