ART INITIATIVE 2010
SUSTAINING CONNECTIONS ART INITIATIVE 2010
The most widely recognized cultural strength of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people is visual art and design.
Another less acknowledged
cultural strength is story telling and writing.
The Sustaining Connections project aims to empower these strengths as a community promotion event
that will also model the processes of accepting, negotiating and sharing that are necessary for community well being.
 |
The Sustaining Connections Project
involves the application of a design-based
methodology to produce interconnected art
works within Aboriginal communities.
These artworks will then be brought together in
Brisbane for a major Exhibition event,
photographed and returned after the event.
The process of producing interconnecting art
works will represent the cultural connections of
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in
Queensland and provide images and words that
depict and describe the significance of these
connections through the theme.
Link Up (Qld) Aboriginal Corporation is hosting this initiative with collaboration and support from Swinburne University.
We are currently advertising for facillitators to run workshops in 16 Queensland locations including
Brisbane North, Brisbane South, Ipswich, Townsville, Palm Island, Cairns, Mount Isa, Weipa, Bundaberg, Yarrabah, Cunnamulla, Emerald, Cherbourg, Charters Towers, Rockhampton, Mackay.
