Bead Friends Forever is a collaborative exhibition between best friends Alina Tang and Johanna Acs. After 23 years of friendship we are finally making art together!

The installation is a bright, eye-catching and vibrant wall work of small magical objects made of iron-together beads. Smiling flowers, small babies, fruits, booby houses, pizzas, happy clouds and sad clouds greet you on this colourful and nostalgic tour of a favourite childhood activity. Made with the help of our closest buds, these happy little objects celebrate colour, creativity, and most importantly, friendship.

Bead Friends Forever is presented as part of Peaks 2018, a curated program of emerging visual art and performance organised by Paper Mountain for FRINGE WORLD 2018. Peaks 2018 is proudly sponsored by the City of Perth.
