Weaving Water panel ISEA2024

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 an interdisciplinary residency in Australia 2023, 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.

Thank you to all the Weaving Water community for keeping the watery threads alive and flowing.

WEAVING WATER

It’s not you trying to do the weaving,
this Country is trying to weave you, this whole continent is you.
