Today is National Tree Day 🌱

Each year, millions of Australians volunteer their time to plant a tree on National Tree Day. It's important to recognise the significance of trees and their cultural ties across the country.

Our current exhibition 'Water bodies' features work by Barkandji artist, curator and educator Nici Cumpston OAM. This selection of work depicts trees and significant sites across the backwaters and inland lake systems of the Barka (Murray).

“Walking amongst the backwaters of the Murray, I am mindful of converging flows further upstream that carry messages from our precious Barka, our Darling River."
- Nici Cumpston @nicicumpston

These works are free to view at the Kingston Arts Centre until 29 August.

Sewing is also art! Last week, we hosted a lovely ‘thread drawing’ workshop at the Kingston Arts Centre with artist-facilitator @julietdcollins 🪡

10 teens learned how to use the sewing machine creatively, turning their drawings into beautifully stitched works of art.

Thank you Juliet for sharing your craft with a new generation of creatives 👏

Ami chatted with Aunty Dy & Aunty Netty who are displaying work at the @kingstonartsau “WATER BODIES” exhibition of contemporary First Peoples’ art exploring the significance of water, climate change, Country and culture.

Presented across the Kingston Arts Precinct in Moorabbin from 3 July to 29 August, the exhibition features artworks by
Nici Cumpston (Barkandji people),
Mandy Quadrio (Trawlwoolway, Laremairamenner),
Auntie Netty Shaw (Trawlwoolway, Tyereelore, Bunurong),
Aunty Dyan Summers (Bunurong, Bass Strait Islander, Trawlwoolway),
Judy Watson (Waanyi people),
Lisa Waup (Gunditjmara, TSI).

Through photography, moving image, weaving, printmaking, sculpture, textiles and new commissions, the artists share diverse perspectives on water and its importance to First Peoples communities. The exhibition forms a key part of Kingston’s recognition of NAIDOC Week @naidocweek and this year’s theme, 50 Years of Deadly, which celebrates five decades of recognising and elevating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices, culture and achievements.

🎧 You can stream a PODCAST of the chat on our Bio (Conversation Series), a variety of podcast platforms (Spotify, Apple, Soundcloud, etc.) and our Website.
