PERMANENT SMOKO prioritised slow, relationship-centred processes1: shared meals, smokos2, group field trips, community workshops, open studio yarns, and informal interactions. The project was an intentional centering of hospitality, conversation, and collaborative making and being as a way of mapping and remembering, attempting to deepen shared understandings of place. The group residency offered space to sit with Broken Hill’s ancestral, social, geological and political histories and complexities: the enduring presence of unionism, labour solidarity and community organising; its spaces, vibrations, edges, isolation, openness, aliveness and queerness; its sacred relationships to land and kin. A place that holds a palpable generosity of spirit—looking out for one another and sharing what you have; a guiding undercurrent (Line of Lode3) of the residency and the resulting artwork. PERMANENT SMOKO unfolded through socially-engaged practice, spatial experimentation and resourcefulness, using second-hand and borrowed materials to resist extractive logics. It emerged through acts of borrowing, sharing, reworking and making-do which brought about a collaborative installation developed with the Slag Heap4 community. PERMANENT SMOKO treats&nbsp;shared activities, rest and relationship as the ongoing work, imagining a time when we all knock off5 forever. The artwork was shared in a series of public locations in Broken Hill and along the Sundown Trail. It’s now part of the Slag Heap Projects collection to be reimagined for future community gatherings and events.This project was made possible by Slag Heap Projects with support from Regional Arts NSW, RANT Arts Tasmania Regional Arts Funding and Create NSW. Special thanks to Asma d Mather, Hester Lyon, and Verity Nunan of Slag Heap Projects and the Slag community for hosting us; Broken Hill Art Exchange for supporting our accommodation; the Tip Shop for loaning us materials; and to Cynthia Schwertsik and Taya Mikah Solomon for sharing in this special time on Wilyakali and Barkindji Country. &nbsp; <img width="2394" height="1606" width_o="2394" height_o="1606" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/85175d4044c537275ad74e6a06b5e6571c90db6ae227e19e827bb7b4816a3d71/r001-008.jpg" data-mid="241305517" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/85175d4044c537275ad74e6a06b5e6571c90db6ae227e19e827bb7b4816a3d71/r001-008.jpg" /> Footnotes1&nbsp; Aka the hanging out method as core praxis. 2&nbsp; Smoko is an informal term for a short break from work, originally intended for smoking cigarettes, but now more generally refers to a tea, coffee or snack break outside the work space. It’s inseparable from Australian blue-collar culture, representing a moment of camaraderie, peace and resistance. 3&nbsp; The Line of Lode is one of the world's largest silver-lead-zinc mineral deposits, a massive ore body that runs through Broken Hill. 4 &nbsp;The slag heap is a large pile of mining waste, a prominent landmark and contested site that bisects Broken Hill. The Slags are community members that have an established relationship with Slag Heap Projects, a local artist-run initiative interested in giving form to ephemeral conversations and the methodology of walking as a way to understand, embody and generate histories of place. 5&nbsp; Knock off is another informal term meaning to finish work for the day. Here, the idea of “knocking off” refers to a refusal of the production paradigm. <img width="6000" height="4000" width_o="6000" height_o="4000"

public artwork for Arakwal Country | Apex Park, Byron Bay. Drawing attention to how our shared civic spaces are designed, navigated and governed, ‘TRANSMISSIONS (Apex Park)’ speculates on the collective experience of this place. Developed with community through a site-specific LAB, this work collaboratively reimagines the socio-cultural systems that shape how we experience public space. Through gentle audio disruption, ‘TRANSMISSIONS (Apex Park)’ is an intervention of everyday spatial governance, inviting new considerations of what ideas and systems we subconsciously participate in. LAB participants: Holly Ahern, Merinda Davies, Skye Jamieson, Adrienne Kenafake and Julie McLaren. Voice contributors: Ginger Dickens, Grace Dewar and Laurie Oxenford.Soundscape/production: Michael Donnelly.

Encouraging a shared moment to be present and in the body, TOTAL TRANSCENDENCE held space for human connection and gestures of care as mechanisms for transcending. Shifting between performance and community building, the work gently combined the profane and precious to reveal new ways to connect and of course, the potential for cosmic enlightenment. TOTAL TRANSCENDENCE centred platonic intimacy and activated euphoric feelings associated with participation in ritual as an ironic response to commodified spiritualism. It was absurd, lighthearted and charged with bush magik. There are many ways to transcend. Transcendence temporarily exists within the energy we create together. &nbsp; Are you ready to surrender?&nbsp; The universe provides.&nbsp; Say it with us: We bring energy to our body with every breath. &nbsp; Hold on to your radical faith in magic.&nbsp; Seek clarity, find mystery.&nbsp; Magic loves the hungry.

Collaboratively, Grace Dewar and Laurie Oxenford as PUBLIC PALACE, assemble temporary arrangements of their *cosmic objects*. This way of working persists as long-form discourse on labour, friendship, social practice and collaborative risk taking. <img width="1664" height="1070" width_o="1664" height_o="1070" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/2e33607462cede49fa7d29996dd266dd36c4e8fb4bd4ad5de7aefbb5bcbb2087/PUBLIC-PALACE---COSMIC-USEFULNESS--1.png" data-mid="186205402" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/2e33607462cede49fa7d29996dd266dd36c4e8fb4bd4ad5de7aefbb5bcbb2087/PUBLIC-PALACE---COSMIC-USEFULNESS--1.png" /> Their process is driven by a shared interest in navigating space with desire instead of function. Developed in response to the everyday, COSMIC USEFULNESS prompts, reorients and encourages working with what already exists as an answer to the production paradigm. Acts of resourcefulness and reciprocity offer a gentle yet urgent speculation towards reorganised value systems, with a particular focus on material perception. Shifting between performing everyday routines and constructing situations of surprise, this series of new material and relational experiments are attempts at a renewed social communion. PUBLIC PALACE work under the assumption that anywhere that *work* takes place becomes the studio. In this way, their projects often take on a residency framework which allows for continuous work in a set period of time, where the outcomes are constantly evolving via live and durational conditions. This way of working demands a constant openness to chance and invites collaborative risk taking. This project was developed with support from Placemakers* Gold Coast’s INCUBATE Residency Program. 29 July – 12 August 2023Elevator ARI3 Rural St Lismore *OPENING EVENT* Saturday 29 July 4 – 6PM Gallery hours: WED – FRI 10am-4pm, SAT 10am-2pm *(UN)WORKSHOP – PERMANENT SMOKO* (morning tea marathon / social club) Saturday 12 August 10AM–12PM Public Palace acknowledge the Widjabul Wy-abul people of Bundjalung nation and the people of the Yugambeh Language Region. *COSMIC USEFULNESS* was developed on stolen Bundjalung and Kombumerri Country.&nbsp; <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0b510cec341a79292be3c40072c71e70be9e67e0e97a9814181e8eb7169dd17/Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-11.jpg" data-mid="193921147" border="0" data-scale="50" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0b510cec341a79292be3c40072c71e70be9e67e0e97a9814181e8eb7169dd17/Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-11.jpg" /><img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bf9786fc70eb68a77ff068ff5845a87207f3a3571513d3a82618bb34af236722/Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-63.jpg" data-mid="193921161" border="0" data-scale="50" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bf9786fc70eb68a77ff068ff5845a87207f3a3571513d3a82618bb34af236722/Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-63.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/fe51c91712d6aebf2892a9e664f975b09a0f6e2c46acbf5dd5a2122b21834a98/8-Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-29.jpg" data-mid="195253614" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/fe51c91712d6aebf2892a9e664f975b09a0f6e2c46acbf5dd5a2122b21834a98/8-Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-29.jpg" /> <img width="1530" height="1312" width_o="1530" height_o="1312" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9290210192225ab40f4f005880b9dff566bbe14d1b682f2445128fca032ba9dc/Screen-Shot-2023-10-17-at-1.35.08-pm.png" data-mid="193921355" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9290210192225ab40f4f005880b9dff566bbe14d1b682f2445128fca032ba9dc/Screen-Shot-2023-10-17-at-1.35.08-pm.png" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6492dfc65c39689898461e7f55bd4c1c34c7ae95bd62c50c50ffa04c2995e158/3-Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-42.jpg" data-mid="195253609" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6492dfc65c39689898461e7f55bd4c1c34c7ae95bd62c50c50ffa04c2995e158/3-Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-42.jpg" /> <img width="976" height="562" width_o="976" height_o="562" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1c107ff26eb8595dd9997f5706a3681bee46603456dc1a3a29474e3ada3ff358/Screen-Shot-2023-10-17-at-1.34.18-pm.png" data-mid="193921354" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/976/i/1c107ff26eb8595dd9997f5706a3681bee46603456dc1a3a29474e3ada3ff358/Screen-Shot-2023-10-17-at-1.34.18-pm.png" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0410ee9ca6a5bfd14cd55565ea64e602c282892c7900d8754b9923467bc49f52/Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-14.jpg" data-mid="193921148" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0410ee9ca6a5bfd14cd55565ea64e602c282892c7900d8754b9923467bc49f52/Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-14.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cf452e207c232919a6420f501cb4ec8552208176588ac239a4db70d4ba3af99a/4-Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-34.jpg" data-mid="195253610" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cf452e207c232919a6420f501cb4ec8552208176588ac239a4db70d4ba3af99a/4-Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-34.jpg" /> <img width="2048" height="1365" width_o="2048" height_o="1365" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d85f40ca2d316c00e7b8b75340a65ee361487da16180efc735820de59b4c9f29/Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-42.jpg" data-mid="193921154" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d85f40ca2d316c00e7b8b75340a65ee361487da16180efc735820de59b4c9f29/Cosmic-Usefulness-_-Public-Place_Fabian-Pertzel-low-Res-42.jpg" /> https://publicpalace.studio/softwash Sun, 07 Dec 2025 22:42:29 +0000 Public Palace https://publicpalace.studio/softwash softwash was an artist-led program of experimental, site-responsive live art presented on Bundjalung Country | Tweed Heads. Across three free events, softwash reimagined the public parklands at the Tweed Regional Museum Learning Site as a place for artists and community to gather, share and make meaning together. Led by artist collective, PUBLIC PALACE (Laurie Oxenford, Grace Dewar and Merinda Davies), softwash supported 30 artists to make site responsive new work in public space. These commissions were presented over three informal gatherings featuring performance, visual arts, sound, writing, socially-engaged practice, workshops and reading club. This program was assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, made possible with auspicing from The FARM, development support from City of Gold Coast, and venue support from Tweed Regional Museum and Arts Northern Rivers.︎<img width="4500" height="5625" width_o="4500" height_o="5625" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/47d4ad8bbd4cc1c97c85962685938054075c7b7795fc9c88e935937f695f8b2f/insta_portrait-_5.png" data-mid="241542252" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/47d4ad8bbd4cc1c97c85962685938054075c7b7795fc9c88e935937f695f8b2f/insta_portrait-_5.png" /> softwash offered gentle parameters and provocations that encouraged risk-taking, collaboration, experimentation and community building, centring the oft-unseen social architecture surrounding creative work like friendship, shared meals and informal discussion. This intentional approach shaped each event as both a presentation of artistic work and a welcoming social space for gathering, sharing and making meaning together. To support artists in developing work in response to place, softwash hosted a F(oam)IELD TRIP before program launch. This collective site visit introduced artists to the histories, situation, micro-ecologies and atmospheres of the riverside parklands, and to each other, establishing an interconnected foundation for the work that unfolded across the three events. softwash created meaningful opportunities for artists based across south east Queensland and northern New South Wales to connect, supporting a cohort of artists from the east coast working in experimental practice. <img width="5356" height="3584" width_o="5356" height_o="3584" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b15f83907288c8709d57b518eb15843867462e1945c9219dbb3fa3c5a8c8d78c/000001.jpg" data-mid="241542255" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b15f83907288c8709d57b518eb15843867462e1945c9219dbb3fa3c5a8c8d78c/000001.jpg" /> softwash is a long-form project conceptualised in late 2022 and shaped over two years of conversations with artists and artist-run-initiatives (ARIs), site research, partnership building and (seemingly) endless grant writing. Contextually, The WALLS Art Space (2013–2021), the treasured home to experimental practice and community on the Gold Coast, had been closed for 12+ months, and the need for a regular place to gather and engage with live work felt increasingly urgent. <img width="2394" height="1606" width_o="2394" height_o="1606" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/83f5ae30925b17e511986612e6ff55c7206860bf46698e419cf9141c821b12d9/r001-004.jpg" data-mid="241850374" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/83f5ae30925b17e511986612e6ff55c7206860bf46698e419cf9141c821b12d9/r001-004.jpg" /> Throughout the research and development stages, softwash imagined and tried on varying forms; from a two-bedroom caretakers apartment in Miami, to a roaming model across a constellation of sites – an active car wash, a council depot, a scout hall, a bathing pavilion, an art institution, a vacant swimming pool, a disused theatre, up and down Kombumerri and Bundjalung Country. These speculations revealed the project’s resistance to being fixed to conventional infrastructure and our collective desire not to pay landlords instead of artists.

If that is true, my sincerest apologies to my readers. I wrote this poem in a fevered state in which I could not stop hallucinating my thoughts in a rhyming meter. But it goes some way to express my last couple of years of research into the philosophical nature of being, cosmology, pedagogy, physics, slam poetry, mathematics, harmonic and morphic resonance, extrasensory perception, science fiction, various theologies, art, careful observation of the world, and so on. Importantly, my mixing pot is the practice of persisting in daily life, my studio is my thoughts, and my lens is a steadfast belief in the oneness of it all.”&nbsp; “I was born and raised on Gidhabal Country. I've been thinking about the nature of things since I can remember thinking, and sometimes I have the opportunity to express my thoughts through artworks. Historically a visual artist, and install technician in art galleries and museums, I'm now studying to be a primary school teacher after becoming disillusioned with the state of being an artist in bureaucratic art systems.

PISS TAKE was a series of small ephemeral water fountains that play in the murky waters between sculpture and performance. As the water is pumped through, looping and pooling, the fountain failures investigate the overlapping’s of queer time, watersports and the archiving of memory. Tay Haggarty is a Magandjin (Brisbane) based multidisciplinary artist making at the intersections of performance, video and sculpture. Their practice is interested in queer abstraction and explores how reductive forms can be used as an open field to reflect upon personal and shared queer experience. The materials or props used are frequently industrial or ready-made and their work is often collaborative, minimal and site specific. <img width="6000" height="4002" width_o="6000" height_o="4002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/522641f97faa9757f3686416de4a383171458f4321bc9e426fb7ed1ca6a9cc7b/softwash-11.jpg" data-mid="241543211" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/522641f97faa9757f3686416de4a383171458f4321bc9e426fb7ed1ca6a9cc7b/softwash-11.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2001" width_o="3000" height_o="2001" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/739c09883a3afb93ea00382380a109e8966dd0e7818c0fb07560d5c0cf333c3c/softwash-42.jpg" data-mid="241543233" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/739c09883a3afb93ea00382380a109e8966dd0e7818c0fb07560d5c0cf333c3c/softwash-42.jpg" />︎ Anna Whitaker Tidal//Tonal Tidal//Tonal was a live sound performance composed in collaboration with the Tweed River. Using submerged hydrophones, the work listened to the river’s murmurings, collisions, and quiet disturbances - an improvised duet between artist and water. Following the performance, a vocal somatic workshop invited participants to explore voice, breath, and body in resonance with the river’s shifting rhythms. Through sound and movement, each body became an instrument of listening and release. The work invited a soft dissolution of boundaries between human and more-than-human, performer and environment. The river was not backdrop but co-performer, shaping the score in real time. Together, the performance and workshop opened space for a slow, fluid encounter—one that attuned to the porous and interwoven nature of being. Anna Whitaker is a multi award-winning sound designer and composer based in Magan-djin/Brisbane, known for her bold sonic imagination and nuanced compositional foundation. A graduate of the Queensland Conservatorium of Music with a Bachelor of Music Technology, Anna’s work lives at the intersection of traditional musical structures and experimental sound art. Her practice fuses her classical training with contemporary electronic techniques to create immersive, visceral soundscapes—often working in surround sound and multichannel formats. <img width="6000" height="4002" width_o="6000" height_o="4002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/56e9ef40419fe089a4b445752cb26e8b6b75116da974e2efab7709b8711c690b/softwash-9.jpg" data-mid="241543228" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/56e9ef40419fe089a4b445752cb26e8b6b75116da974e2efab7709b8711c690b/softwash-9.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4002" width_o="6000" height_o="4002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1b58f1b60837bcc0f5e9e17edf0192e0ae026aba0a299a927cb8895316d0ee38/softwash-22.jpg" data-mid="241543204" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1b58f1b60837bcc0f5e9e17edf0192e0ae026aba0a299a927cb8895316d0ee38/softwash-22.jpg" />︎ Kim Stokes Soft Soft Reading Club “When re-imagining "reading club" for At The Waters Edge I wanted to play around with words. It seems that words are inherently dualistic – definitive, holding inside so much of themselves.” By breaking down books to words, words to letters, we move from endless clarification towards slippery paradox and unknowing. To help us explore the gooey edges of language, Kim created a simple asemic poem activity, for all to fill out throughout the afternoon. Kim Stokes is an emerging artist and curator based in the Yugambeh Language Region / Gold Coast, who investigates the complexities of digital culture. Using text, lens-based media and archival methods, she explores the ways in which people and technology intersect, and how spirituality and unknowing might generate new ways of thinking about these connections. She is passionate about amplifying independent, artist-led stories through research and collaboration; working on projects such as Nextdoor ARI, The Goldy and SEA-CRAFT. <img width="1598" height="1124" width_o="1598" height_o="1124" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c9d2e1a4254c01767ee7563f4654c5d7e2aacf90b7482d910373b26ee9e21fc7/Stokes_ReadingClub.png" data-mid="241544617" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c9d2e1a4254c01767ee7563f4654c5d7e2aacf90b7482d910373b26ee9e21fc7/Stokes_ReadingClub.png" /> <img width="6000" height="4002" width_o="6000" height_o="4002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1eacba2ad07483c1650b97050e3e7e40212d3b7c3d0c09c9db88a89e8bca68da/softwash-30.jpg" data-mid="241543231" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1eacba2ad07483c1650b97050e3e7e40212d3b7c3d0c09c9db88a89e8bca68da/softwash-30.jpg" /> ︎Ruby Donohoe VANISHING POINTS Map making is a form of prayer-making too. It says, what was once here can be found again.&nbsp; What was once here, still exists&nbsp; And chances are, you can find it again.&nbsp; And yet… In the face of a system of errors, a system of eros floods forward. Ruby Donohoe is an interdisciplinary artist working with choreography as a mode of critical inquiry into the body’s political, sensory, and relational capacities. Her practice spans live performance, participatory frameworks, video, and installation to examine how bodies negotiate visibility, coherence, and control. Informed by her experience of epilepsy, her work foregrounds instability as a generative methodology—where interruption, hesitation, and disorientation become tools for rethinking embodiment. Attentive to expanded thresholds between animate and inanimate, public and private, Ruby’s works propose estrangement as an ethics of attention and a strategy for queering perception, relation, and form. <img width="6000" height="3969" width_o="6000" height_o="3969" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cbac33ec9d8d5da8bda574c52e337c3bfe387cac8c987110b1ce51f7476dbf78/softwash-94-1.jpg" data-mid="241543238" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cbac33ec9d8d5da8bda574c52e337c3bfe387cac8c987110b1ce51f7476dbf78/softwash-94-1.jpg" /> <img width="6000" height="4002" width_o="6000" height_o="4002" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42382cb4a47e2282af17a71248aad9c23ea296b1e941f831ed4ea36eae52d821/softwash-36.jpg" data-mid="241543220" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/42382cb4a47e2282af17a71248aad9c23ea296b1e941f831ed4ea36eae52d821/softwash-36.jpg" /> https://publicpalace.studio/SW002-Eating-Together Sun, 07 Dec 2025 23:29:48 +0000 Public Palace https://publicpalace.studio/SW002-Eating-Together SW_002 Eating Together (27 September 2025) Eating Together focused on rituals of gathering and the social systems that shape how we relate. softwash invited artists and audiences to consider the conditions of continued togetherness, using food, shared processes and participatory actions as frameworks for connection.

This program was assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body, made possible with auspicing from The FARM, development support from City of Gold Coast, and venue support from Tweed Regional Museum and Arts Northern Rivers.SW002 photography by Buzz Gardiner.&nbsp; View the&nbsp;softwash archive on Substack and Instagram. softwash design by Marilena Hewitt. <img width="2250" height="3000" width_o="2250" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bb4c6e70a561b984def58b34251e7f295ad4c5b1dc9385bf05aea537674cd3e0/DSCF8429.jpg" data-mid="241547623" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bb4c6e70a561b984def58b34251e7f295ad4c5b1dc9385bf05aea537674cd3e0/DSCF8429.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c97bec3092c6cebf10aa367645548d58cff9c5ab8e5079601d885e249637c691/DSCF8876.jpg" data-mid="241547625" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c97bec3092c6cebf10aa367645548d58cff9c5ab8e5079601d885e249637c691/DSCF8876.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7a1f05992c29ecb743a641c5c883a5cf616ed6113f7f795e37d75e0c04af7d13/DSCF8454.jpg" data-mid="241547624" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7a1f05992c29ecb743a641c5c883a5cf616ed6113f7f795e37d75e0c04af7d13/DSCF8454.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d0b551e1ff617835ba5b8c10e1315d3aeaaa1843f2260f1b7348bc6ce9ef8dd5/DSCF8954.jpg" data-mid="241547626" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d0b551e1ff617835ba5b8c10e1315d3aeaaa1843f2260f1b7348bc6ce9ef8dd5/DSCF8954.jpg" />︎Marilena (Muff) Hewitt&nbsp;Recipes from the Deep These NonaBoy pros and sea creature sonars draw from lines. Lines that move. Boundaries that slip. Tides that echo in circles — in queer time. ‘Recipes from the deep’ is unsure of itself. It is janky and BENT. It's Tweed. It is "I don't have to understand you to love you." It's a carrier shell holding ocean debris; it's dolphins sponging for fish; it's rising seas, sea hare chains and the whole world cumming at the same time; it is flirting and making a mess; it's cosmopolitan distribution (biogeography) and tidal flushing; it's jellyfish satellites communicating the message. The core message. The one holding dark heavy minerals and compacting the bright sun all at once, as if nothing expires. As we remix we become more sure. As we listen we get closer to the corner. Marilena or Muff (NonaBoy/they/them) is a poet, designer, artist and publisher living and working on unceded Jagera and Turrbal land.&nbsp; Their transdisciplinary practice acknowledges the importance of staying in trouble together whilst imagining a future which looks fuller, brighter, vaster and more empathetic. Their arts publication PLATYPUS is unique in its approach to ecological crises. It is guided by First Nation’s cultural practice, artmaking, critical discussion, poetry, humour, queer ecology; and is informed by fieldwork. For Marilena, frolicking/crying/laughing in the field is the only way to create relationships with other bodies; bodies as bioregions, bodies as more-than-human. Their poetry navigates, flirts and fails at complex relationships between ecology, weather, gender, sexuality and mass extinction.

But what appears grotesque is also generative: decomposition as choreography, excess as fertile ground, thresholds where rot and growth entwine. Learning to inhabit the mess, to recognise survival as a practice of entanglement and embracing the chaos unfolding, is our only hope. Home School Achiever (Betty Russ and Michael Donnelly) Drawing on the fringes of popular culture, Home School Achiever creates objects, installations, and situations that suggest shifting meanings rather than fixed conclusions. Their practice thrives on ambiguity and invites audiences into a fertile space where cultural residues, speculative thinking, and material experimentation collide. *Pooping back and forth forever references Miranda July Me and You and Everyone We Know. 2005.

Appearing as a pilgrim, she arrived to sense the site, created place to feel at home, and connected with community through the ritual of coming home and sharing a meal. This participatory work invited audiences to engage in marking space and presence, contributing to a living archive of resonance. The performance culminated in stillness, reflection, and a shared act of connection, care, and reciprocity that extends the circle of belonging. Kuweni Dias Mendis is an artist who integrates movement, sound, film, installations, markings, and sculptural ritual objects to create immersive works that invite audiences into direct, embodied experiences reconnecting them to their heartbeat, rhythm, gait, posture, and sense of time and space within a decolonized body.&nbsp; Her practice is deeply shaped by her hybrid cultural experiences between Sri Lanka and Australia. Kuweni blends regenerative practices, arts activism, and cultural facilitation, using ritual and ceremony as vessels for artistic expression. Through practice-led research, she explores her role in preserving a vanishing heritage. As a migrant woman of color on unceded lands, she advocates for and amplifies the voices of marginalized women through collaborative artworks, exhibitions, and participatory experiences. She strives to create spaces where these voices can be heard and valued. <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/cfc64048d8f46c26686b7c2c625c59762fd6c1b1cd5ae8a13602ff6576b87e84/DSCF8496.jpg" data-mid="241547613" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/cfc64048d8f46c26686b7c2c625c59762fd6c1b1cd5ae8a13602ff6576b87e84/DSCF8496.jpg" /> <img width="2250" height="3000" width_o="2250" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5485b1567a139fbce080fb64cd0f141c9c206092f8acc3e6b21eca8fb1429899/DSCF8432.jpg" data-mid="241543166" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5485b1567a139fbce080fb64cd0f141c9c206092f8acc3e6b21eca8fb1429899/DSCF8432.jpg" />︎ Glenn Barry Dreaming in the Now Gali Guwaay Gulibaa – Water, Words, and Spirit Weaving Aboriginal meditation and sound healing with Glenn Barry, Gamilaraay. Glenn invited participants to immerse their Gii Dhuwi – heart and soul with Aboriginal spirituality through heartfelt meditation, sound healing and reflective yarns on sacred country.

Ellamay Khongroj Fitzgerald prepared congee with a mish-mash of Eastern and Western ingredients, reflecting on her own bi-racial identity and the way she navigates the space between two cultures. For Ellamay, cooking and eating together has always been a way to reconnect with her father’s side of the family after growing up disconnected from her Thai heritage. Each shared meal builds upon a personal archive of memories, feelings, and stories that help piece together a sense of belonging. Outdoor Kitchen invited visitors to partake in a bowl of congee and consider, how does sharing a meal change the experience of eating it? What does it mean to gather together, to exchange stories, to taste something unfamiliar yet comforting? Through the act of cooking, serving, and eating, the work creates space for reflection on how food shapes belonging, identity, and connection across cultures. Mung Bean Radio “what destroys you can also nourish you.” Through headphones emerging from a basket of mung beans, Filipino-Singaporean Mariam Ella Arcilla recalls the childhood punishment her grandmother gave her, later transformed into a meal both nourishing and delicious. Ellamay Khongroj Fitzgerald is an emerging artist based on Yugambeh Country. Her practice spans across lens-based storytelling, installation and participatory forms of making, through which she explores her dual Australian and Thai heritage. Ellamay's work is largely influenced by her lived experiences growing up bi-racial on the Gold Coast and perceptions of culture, identity and place as a second-generation Asian Australian. <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/13fba5efdbc83fb2f44d9960abf4e11b33ef96a97cfb9a45775bf678b6f98c59/DSCF9158.jpg" data-mid="241543173" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/13fba5efdbc83fb2f44d9960abf4e11b33ef96a97cfb9a45775bf678b6f98c59/DSCF9158.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1125" width_o="1500" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c8d66f12e8c327e378a52be972c6e4ddd12f2271ee6cb37861b3e10c58682e4b/DSCF9236.jpg" data-mid="241543164" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c8d66f12e8c327e378a52be972c6e4ddd12f2271ee6cb37861b3e10c58682e4b/DSCF9236.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1125" width_o="1500" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/3955712e1d45b52b04dccbb44efac2e07dba7911b57c095a9a243a0a1c8a62ab/DSCF9015.jpg" data-mid="241543154" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/3955712e1d45b52b04dccbb44efac2e07dba7911b57c095a9a243a0a1c8a62ab/DSCF9015.jpg" /> ︎ Toad Dell Soft Soft Reading Club:&nbsp;Queering Regenerative Design This intentional practice of Queering interrogates norms to build new relationships and systems that meet the needs of all. In a time and culture of siloed extraction, how do we queer ourselves and the systems we live within? How do we find our edges, locate where they touch others and design a social ecology of strong relationship rather than productivity? Drawing from ecological literacies, systems thinking &amp; permaculture, this space explores how we relate to the everpresent "Other" that is often vilified. Let's practice pausing and deep listening to reveal pathways forward of collaborative and regenerative ways of being. Toad is a permaculture designer, community organiser and co-founder of PermaQueer. Most of their practice sits at the intersection of social and ecological care with care-full design from a queer theory perspective. <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/42cbe4468de060707db9b87f61e75fd2cf55269c32e12b19b1e23cce6e9f66b2/DSCF9009.jpg" data-mid="241543172" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/42cbe4468de060707db9b87f61e75fd2cf55269c32e12b19b1e23cce6e9f66b2/DSCF9009.jpg" /> <img width="1500" height="1125" width_o="1500" height_o="1125" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1aaa53d43fec7e5a4d432774d1d8fb47bb94c331644277ae13d2260bd7294d4b/DSCF9037.jpg" data-mid="241543156" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1aaa53d43fec7e5a4d432774d1d8fb47bb94c331644277ae13d2260bd7294d4b/DSCF9037.jpg" />︎Jason King&nbsp;The Wind Doesn’t Forget This textile installation reclaimed the courthouse flagpole as a site of memory, resistance, and cultural continuity. Layered translucent fabrics carry fragments of Bundjalung language – place names, kinship terms, ancestral verbs – shifting and overlapping in the wind to reflect the fluid revival of language and story. Laminated leaves, gathered from Country, represent diverse Aboriginal nations and dialects. Though pressed in plastic, they remain living archives – reminders that language is rooted in land, not erased by concrete or colonial law.&nbsp; Each leaf whispers in its own tongue: Bundjalung, Wiradjuri, Gumbaynggirr, Yuin. Together, they speak of survival. The flag does not ask permission – it rises, it moves, it resists. It transforms a symbol of imposed authority into one of cultural sovereignty. Visitors are invited to lie on mats, listen to Country, and feel the wind carry stories that refuse to be forgotten. This was not just an artwork – it is a breathing act of reclamation. Jason King is a local Aboriginal artist, born in Murwillumbah and raised in Tumbulgum, who has spent his entire life on Bundjalung Country in the Tweed Valley. Deeply connected to his land and heritage, Jason draws inspiration from Australia’s original storytellers – desert painters, ancient rock art, Aboriginal dance, language, and song. His artistic journey is grounded in a lifelong relationship with nature and a dedication to learning and sharing story, language, and culture. Jason weaves storytelling into each piece, infusing his work with his appreciation for Aboriginal and Islander culture, and hopes his creations resonate meaningfully with his audience. <img width="2250" height="3000" width_o="2250" height_o="3000" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1bbf2ff1fd13e1ff71f3f52d747e656bac6ddc46e9d6a3f1d77a9f47fe51b7b5/DSCF8720.jpg" data-mid="241543174" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/1bbf2ff1fd13e1ff71f3f52d747e656bac6ddc46e9d6a3f1d77a9f47fe51b7b5/DSCF8720.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/512574dec6724b737b959307d43f3bdb0a4508d6d2c931540cb9587e108b2874/DSCF9075.jpg" data-mid="241547620" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/512574dec6724b737b959307d43f3bdb0a4508d6d2c931540cb9587e108b2874/DSCF9075.jpg" /> ︎ Kyra Togo Come Weave softwash participants joined Kyra Togo for a weaving circle and learned how to make forage bowls for shared meals. As our hands worked with fibre, we reflected on communal care and sustaining relationships with Country and one another. Kyra Togo is a proud Minyungbal, Tagalaka and South Sea Island woman. Her main medium of expression is weaving, favoring fibers that are most available in her surroundings such as Pandanus, Lomandra as well as Raffia. Preserving cultural fibre knowledge, Kyra creates woven pieces that embody the beauty in functional artworks. She carries the continuation of weaving craft passed down by her ancestors and is now able to pass that on to her three children while living on Country. On her journey of reclaiming ancestral knowledge and traditional ways of being, through song, dance and story, weaving is an essential practice that helps her to realign her spirit, to remember the stories of her old people and honouring and respecting Country. Never harming or taking more than is needed to create art and woven works. <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9b8429a7348198622638d97fc40d166ccb14dbe8a0d12ce18095d0882f3f247c/DSCF8957.jpg" data-mid="241543171" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9b8429a7348198622638d97fc40d166ccb14dbe8a0d12ce18095d0882f3f247c/DSCF8957.jpg" /> <img width="3000" height="2250" width_o="3000" height_o="2250" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d8803ad853c9db35081a836717fedfbb9552ebce8950ca798d3495ed0b88dbba/DSCF8962.jpg" data-mid="241547621" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d8803ad853c9db35081a836717fedfbb9552ebce8950ca798d3495ed0b88dbba/DSCF8962.jpg" /> ︎ https://publicpalace.studio/SW001-Full-Foam-Rinse-and-Spin Sun, 07 Dec 2025 23:26:59 +0000 Public Palace https://publicpalace.studio/SW001-Full-Foam-Rinse-and-Spin SW_001 Full Foam Rinse and Spin (30 August 2025) Full Foam Rinse and Spin introduced softwash as an artist-run anomaly shaped by temporary conditions, playful ideas and experimental live art.

A kinship with nature permeates much of the label's eclectic catalogue and roster. The label also operates a collaborative archival studio named Studio Mimi which digitises and broadcasts historic recordings from SE Asia and beyond via the Radio Nanyang platform. <img width="3178" height="2119" width_o="3178" height_o="2119" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/32cdfad78ab502f7a70631e64741195a3d7d65bb6b0ed077191a78fe7d48005c/1D4A7762.jpg" data-mid="241543013" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/32cdfad78ab502f7a70631e64741195a3d7d65bb6b0ed077191a78fe7d48005c/1D4A7762.jpg" /> <img width="6356" height="4237" width_o="6356" height_o="4237" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a90f5e6afa7ccdd273b3952bc7473e8d75a2c321c85d149bf394a26ac0a892cd/1D4A7680.jpg" data-mid="241547670" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/a90f5e6afa7ccdd273b3952bc7473e8d75a2c321c85d149bf394a26ac0a892cd/1D4A7680.jpg" /> <img width="6526" height="4351" width_o="6526" height_o="4351" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/6f1c9944e6bb5244d10ebcd659fb7721c7fe12185173de8c9f5fd13dd820c690/1D4A7778.jpg" data-mid="241547660" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/6f1c9944e6bb5244d10ebcd659fb7721c7fe12185173de8c9f5fd13dd820c690/1D4A7778.jpg" />︎Artist Boardriders Club (ABC) Thou Shalt Get Pitted (Green Cathedral) 2025 Milk crates, cables ties, sand bags, Spooky thruster, snapped DICE log, beach/surf towels, surfboard bags, detritus, posters, tape, voicemail Thou Shalt Get Pitted (Green Cathedral) explored wave riding and spirituality through a matrix of surfing sins and lost waves…and on the seventh day Simon Anderson created the thruster.&nbsp; Hailing from Queensland’s Gold Coast, the Artist Boardriders Club (ABC) surf and make art on the fringes of the 8th World Surfing Reserve, a 16km stretch of coastline from Burleigh Point in the north to Snapper Rocks on the Queensland/New South Wales border and all the breaks in between. The ABC have exhibited at Urbn Surf, Flotsam Festival, Outer Space, Metro Arts, The Walls and Maverick Artspace, and host social surf meet-ups throughout the year.

In an age of permacrisis, we drift through uncertain waters, our mourning tangled in the ghost nets of everyday life. We need more than a map – we need a guidebook for moving through the wreckage with presence and care. Julie McLaren (she/her) is a curator and art historian whose practice centres on storytelling and critical engagement with sociopolitical discourse. Drawing on a foundation in museums and archives, her work in the public gallery sector has resulted in dozens of exhibitions from historical surveys, through to contemporary projects featuring emerging and established artists. Her curatorial approach is informed by deep listening, generous collaboration, and a commitment to cultivating strong, trusting relationships with artists and communities. Grounded in feminist theory, her practice embraces a transhistorical approach; holding conversations across time, unravelling linear stories, and inviting viewers into layered, resonant worlds.

His installation of Wind Dancers, made from hemp string, layered cane (rainforest vine), acrylic paint, and Emu feathers, speaks to the cyclical nature of seasons and time. Mark Cora is a proud Minjungbal man, artist and cultural educator. His art pieces represent his Country which takes in the mountains, rainforests, the beach, and its shoreline. He is inspired by natural materials, their shapes and energy, igniting his imagination and that of the onlookers. Mark makes art about natural systems that occur in particular seasons to remind viewers of nature’s workings and how our involvement with the environment contributes to the ongoing workings of these systems or the destruction of these systems. <img width="6590" height="4393" width_o="6590" height_o="4393" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/575106d29fb84f4e17585607b2d06b8a2a0ac082dc6ae91967fd479d22d2a9c2/1D4A7571.jpg" data-mid="241543018" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/575106d29fb84f4e17585607b2d06b8a2a0ac082dc6ae91967fd479d22d2a9c2/1D4A7571.jpg" /><img width="3239" height="2159" width_o="3239" height_o="2159" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8bf3a088f7949fdad6be6bb8b5fc5f0bcb35cd4ba60bdf54144d82e9e52c7666/1D4A7726.jpg" data-mid="241543011" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8bf3a088f7949fdad6be6bb8b5fc5f0bcb35cd4ba60bdf54144d82e9e52c7666/1D4A7726.jpg" /> ︎ Lewis Workshop: Stubborn Stains Stubborn Stains Friendship Club was an anti-colonial space for friendship, conversation, and crafting revolutions with our hearts and hands. Together, we shared stories of being visible and invisible while making balaclavas from repurposed materials. Lewis is a Queensland artist whose practice is rooted in punk ethos, friendship, and community care. Their work embraces the DIY spirit – rejecting hierarchy, championing collective action, and cultivating spaces where art functions as a social bond. <img width="3301" height="2201" width_o="3301" height_o="2201" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/77ddf73830d29289c473fdd5181936f331f9b39d29278fd1ca1e69368c6193ae/1D4A7795.jpg" data-mid="241543014" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/77ddf73830d29289c473fdd5181936f331f9b39d29278fd1ca1e69368c6193ae/1D4A7795.jpg" /> <img width="2591" height="1728" width_o="2591" height_o="1728" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f15a85460d74762f17f74babdfaeb33b3040eec4e0dbf5185d530a7ee965de63/1D4A7666.jpg" data-mid="241543006" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f15a85460d74762f17f74babdfaeb33b3040eec4e0dbf5185d530a7ee965de63/1D4A7666.jpg" /> ︎ Adrienne Kenafake Big SCRUB Big SCRUB was an outdoor beauty day spa but forget the glow up – a place to slow up before you blow up. In the spa participants were invited to remove their footwear, take a seat, relax and have their souls re-invigorated. Choose from the special menu. Soak your tired feet in the therapeutic power of the extracted landscape. Big Scrub is a window of time. A moment to immerse in the cosmic and geologic essence of the Tweed region collected specifically for your instant relief. Take part in conversations about place and change while you soak. Adrienne Kenafake is a multi-disciplinary artist living on Bundjalung Country, Northern NSW. In 2014 she exhibited her first solo show, Gutter Gold: Something from Nothing at the Tweed Regional Gallery in Murwillumbah and has since continued to exhibit locally and interstate with her most recent body of work Hold Tight, showing at Elevator ARI Lismore NSW, in May 2025. Notable performance works include Irregular Structures, at The Midland Junction Art Centre in Perth 2019, Meet Patty, a collaborative work at Home of The Arts Gold Coast in 2019 and Ruminant, a solo performance on the opening night of Cementa Festival in Kandos 2024. <img width="3219" height="2146" width_o="3219" height_o="2146" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8f68c2aed32012663b686bc6d2641fb9c5e84d2fcc92d47fc9692ecf093212eb/1D4A7718.jpg" data-mid="241543010" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8f68c2aed32012663b686bc6d2641fb9c5e84d2fcc92d47fc9692ecf093212eb/1D4A7718.jpg" /> <img width="6720" height="4480" width_o="6720" height_o="4480" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/e5622fa9998b3b2644d8fbc4b5c2f61e3ac797dddc3d3204180ebc910e28eace/1D4A7807.jpg" data-mid="241547665" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/e5622fa9998b3b2644d8fbc4b5c2f61e3ac797dddc3d3204180ebc910e28eace/1D4A7807.jpg" /> ︎ Sarah Poulgrain Weaving Work, Blanket Library For softwash, I recycled a semi-destroyed woven material from when I was learning how to use a jack loom in 2019. I learnt from Alleyne at the Auchenflower Spinners and Weavers association and had production help from Anya Swan and James Barth. At the base of the work are several picnic blankets – for softwash attendees to use! I was hoping to make something that addressed the political heaviness of the flagpole, with something that would practically benefit the people visiting the park. Sarah Poulgrain’s practice draws on self-sustainability and artist-led pedagogy to expand what art institutions can do. Though they produce sculptures, their practice is primarily concerned with building and sustaining respectful and non-hierarchical relationships. Poulgrain’s methodology often takes the form of learning a new skill (usually through interest-specific community groups), documenting the process, and re-teaching the skill to others. Their practice aims to facilitate a model of knowledge sharing that disrupts power dynamics and prioritises vulnerability and trust. <img width="3208" height="2139" width_o="3208" height_o="2139" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b58ff38ea7935d7fb73b8cc11acc75c41e073dd721c5ad96f01d6960202db810/1D4A7824.jpg" data-mid="241543017" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b58ff38ea7935d7fb73b8cc11acc75c41e073dd721c5ad96f01d6960202db810/1D4A7824.jpg" /> ︎ https://publicpalace.studio/RE-ORIENT-RE-ASSEMBLE Sun, 05 May 2024 23:52:11 +0000 Public Palace https://publicpalace.studio/RE-ORIENT-RE-ASSEMBLE RE-ORIENT / RE-ASSEMBLE was a weekend intensive developed by PUBLIC PALACE in collaboration with Merinda Davies. The lab was designed as a space for testing, reflection, and collective inquiry, supporting artists and practitioners to critically re-examine how their practices operate in relation to public space. The intensive brought together a group of participants to RE-ORIENT their practice through a series of gently disruptive activities designed to unsettle habitual ways of working. RE-ASSEMBLE reconfigured ideas, methods and approachesthrough collaborative provocations, offered in response to the site and surrounding public context. Participants were invited to consider public space as both the site and situation for their work. Activities focused on engaging with more-than-human perspectives, conducting sensory readings of immediate surroundings, developing relationships to place and testing alternative methods for working in and with public space. Together we created a collaborative manifesto to frame the intention and working principles for the intensive. This program was delivered at 2nd Space in Nambour on Kabi Kabi Country, as part of ArtsCoast ProjectLAB, facilitated by Sunshine Coast Council.
