Artist in Residence: Jacky Cheng
Jacky with Margaret River’s local host producer, Francesco Geronazzo from Margaret River Printmaking Studio has started engaging with some community members in local conversations through their workshop delivery on the making of Orizome, a Japanese fold and dye paper art. This collaborative effort between Jacky and the community not only enables skill-sharing but also evokes fascinating interrelationship of social connections between Broome and Margaret River. The Orizome is in the progress of becoming a community ‘Paper Patchwork Blanket’.
About SPACED
Spaced commissions context-responsive and socially engaged art projects across the whole of Western Australia and beyond. Our programs are grounded in artistic practices that explore everyday life issues and histories through a dialogue with diverse social groups. Through our programs, we create diverse and challenging experiences for artists and communities through contemporary visual art. For over 20 years, our organisation has been delivering programs that build connections between contemporary art and non‐specialist audiences, especially, but not exclusively, in regional and remote communities. The art projects we commission as part of these programs emerge from residencies that enable artists to engage with specific social, environmental, and historical contexts.
Rural Utopia
Rural Utopias is a program of residencies and exhibitions in rural and remote Western Australia. Artists are developing new works alongside their host communities, responding to new social, environmental, and historical contexts
Artist talk: Thursday 19th May, 6 – 7pm followed by light refreshments
Join Rashida Murphy for this intimate discussion exploring the themes of identity, heritage, history and the growing pains of the migrant experience that form her latest book, ‘The Bonesetter’s Fee and Other Stories’. Rashida’s characters remake lives in shifting terrain where sometimes it is barely possible to speak, let alone be heard and echo unspoken, misremembered and intentionally forgotten events, that ripple across time and place. Presented by Ana Brawls
Rashida Murphy will be in conversation with Ana Brawls at the Margaret River Library
This is a FREE event hosted by Shire of Augusta Margaret River for the Margaret River Readers and Writers Festival. Space is limited so please register on the Margaret River Readers & Writers Festival Website
