Abstract:
This panel consists of four international experts who have collaborated and connected on a diverse range of projects for over 20 years. The discussion focuses on a recent interdisciplinary residency in Australia, Weaving Water @ Yarun, designed to support relational ways of being, share cultural practices, and provide artistic and theoretical frameworks that acknowledge a deep connection to place. The residency tied together social and cultural knowledge about water as an essential element to support human and more-than-human physical and spiritual life on the planet. This panel discussion explores individual experiences of the residency as well as framing shared contributions to the residency outcomes.
