💧BODIES OF WATER💧TALKS NOW LIVE 💧

We are thrilled to share the highly requested recordings of our 'Bodies of Water' public program series. Led by Associate Professor Zoë Sadokierski, the program was presented in parallel with the exhibition 'A river runs through' by Spence Messih.

'Bodies of Water' brought together researchers, students, educators and the public to explore the relationships between bodies, waterways, place and Country through conversation, storytelling, and creative workshops. We hope the program offered meaningful opportunities for learning, dialogue, and deepening engagement with the entangled systems that shape our worlds.

We extend our thanks to Jason Benedek and the UTS Production team and the Faculty of Design & Society for making these recordings available.

What can a river teach us when we trace the entangled relationships that constitute its intelligence—between water, sediment, species, and seasons? And how might sitting with that complexity open up ways of thinking, making and caring, that take seriously the more-than-human?⁣

To glue your collage or photograph and dismantle? Which one are you?

Some answers from some of the artists of @thesocialglueofsydney

Welcoming your thoughts in the comments...

Come see some glued collages in our exhibition, opening this coming Friday night, May 8. If you'd like to be part of a meet, make and cake, Saturday May 9, the first full day of the show, might be the day for you. Just quietly it's likely better for those who need a low sensory situation (like more than a few of us).

As we head into install week for our upcoming group show, we're asking ourselves and other collage artists the key collage questions. Like this one - Where do you find your collage materials?

Take note @lifelineaustralia - we're big fans of your bookfairs as the best place to fossick up treasures for collage. And @reversegarbage - where would we be without you? Not only did we buy many of our books and mags from you, but we also bought three lovely display cabinets to display our works and the foamcore and artboard we are using to mount our works, and even the amazing mini concertina books we will be using for one of our workshops (seriously they are astonishingly good, please find the link for that workshop in the bio). @streetlibraryau we love you too, as we love the folks who drop gems into your street libraries for us to discover.
Have some lovely illustrated books that you're looking to offload and need an appreciative receiver? We appreciate! Our sessions are free and open to all, and donations of materials to our stash are one of the ways we keep it that way.

So - let us know in the comments - where do you find your materials?
