Journey into the Art of Adaptation
Saturday 20 June
2 – 3.30 pm

Artist and Dabee Wiradjuri Elder Peter Swain will guide us into conversation with KSCA artists and then immersive collaborative storytelling.

This session begins with a stone ceremony incorporating river stones, journeys through the exhibition with other KSCA artists and then unfolds as Uncle Peter will lead an engaging participatory storytelling and collaborative drawing experience.

Participants will be encouraged to slow down, look differently and learn about the importance of water to Aboriginal people, and explore art as a way of understanding the complex relationships between water, land, and life.

Peter has worked extensively with diverse communities sharing his understanding of Country, connectivity and individual reciprocity, and belonging.
