๐—ก๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ถ is a Javanese word meaning to shelter, nurture and protect. These workshops invite us to consider shelter not only as a physical place, but as something we create together through care, presence, reciprocity and connection.

Together, we will work with everyday materials to create handmade vessels and water-based objects, drawing inspiration from shelter, care, animism and the living presence held within the material world.

The objects created through these gatherings will continue their journey into ๐—ก๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜†๐—ผ๐—บ๐—ถ / ๐—ฆ๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ, a larger processional performance ritual taking place on Sunday 1 November.

How do you build a more relevant, equitable, sustainable and future-focused arts culture? You invest time and money in the people; and you create multi-directional opportunities for sharing, learning and growing relationships. ๐—™๐˜‚๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ ๐—–๐˜‚๐—น๐˜๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ is a program from CuriousWorks that aims to do all of that.

It pairs an artist residency program with an arts worker development program, embedding all the creatives in the company's operations to benefit the artists, arts workers, and the organisation symbiotically; and in turn to nurture sector development and foster sustainability for the community arts and cultural development sector.

Held at SSIโ€™s Community Refugee Welcome Centre, the women have been painting by the water, listening deeply and respectfully to messages from unceded Wangal land. They then shared stories about land and water, and used their paintings to inspire their textile art. The group also made some beautiful beaded, appliquรฉ and embroidered artworks.

Watch this space as we will continue to share more updates about the rest of Nicoleโ€™s workshops.
