About

Join us for an insightful lunchtime conversation as part of Land Arts of the Limestone Coast, a new initiative that engages landscape history in the Limestone Coast region with a special focus on water.

Artists from around Australia and internationally converge in Mount Gambier in an intensive 10 day field retreat. The field retreat explores the story of the Limestone Coast region as “changescape”, from limestone hydrogeology to Indigenous land use to post-settlement practices of hydro-engineering.

Moving Water: A Public Conversation will be the final event of the field retreat and the perfect moment to bring together participants, collaborators and interested members of the public to take part in a shared conversation as we reflect on the macro-perspective of the Land Arts initiative, on water management in the region and the intermediary role artists can play between emotional connections to land and envisioning sustainable water futures.

Light refreshments will be provided.

This event will be chaired by Professor Ross Gibson, Centenary Professor in Creative & Cultural Research, University of Canberra.
