Woven Narratives
16 April to 9 May 2021This 24 day on site residency project will see nature and creativity converge in one breathtaking hub. Both the natural and creative worlds are at a tipping point – impacted by urban growth, climate crisis and now Covid. We face enormous challenges for our ecosystems to survive and thrive.
Diverse art projects will be developed in creative spaces such as shipping containers, under bridges and in community venues like the Wanderers, Café Bones and Canal Road Film Centre. Come along to wander the site, meet artists and see their work develop, or book in for workshops, talks and pop-up performances sharing insights into how art is made.
My project
Woven Narratives utilises The Lomandra (used by Gadigal Wangal people) as a woven metaphor sharing the common thread of all existence as we look at the earth as one - intertwining all consciousness, past and present realising a pull in one direction destabilises the whole. In this instance the artist has included the golden hemp cord to signify the thread running through every living thing, for without it there is no connection or full cognitive awareness.
