Craft Victoria has announced that its end-of-year exhibition, Fables & Folklore, will be guest curated by Australian decorator Simone Haag, who is known to create tailored spaces with a distinctive eye for unique vintage furniture and layering different textures.

In her curatorial debut, Haag will bring together more than 30 Australian artists, tied to the central exploration of Fables & Folklore. The exhibition is said to dive into the “narratives imbued in objects and artworks”, and celebrate “the age-old fascination humans hold with storytelling and lore”. This fascination will be reflected in Haag’s hand-picked selection of furniture, textiles, ceramics, beading and lighting.
