I am delighted to have been one of 10 Artists and 5 Mentors selected to participate in 'Output - Art After Fire'.
This is a pilot project run by South East Arts and FieldScreen International.
The project aims to support communities in bushfire ravaged southeast NSW, Australia, and western USA, by assisting their visual artists and creative writers whose practice has been affected by recent fires and who would benefit from mentoring in field-based creative practice to make new artwork about their experiences.
One mentor has been assigned to two artists and I am happy to share this journey with my preferred mentor Heather Burness and artist Katherine Boland.
The project runs from December 2020 until May 2021.
The project will be professionally evaluated and an online publication will be created to document the project. This is a small pilot version of a larger project that South East Arts hopes to expand in the future.
OUTPUT is supported by the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade through their Australian Cultural Diplomacy Grants Program.
