Posted @withregram •@regionalartsaustralia Artla

Posted @withregram •@regionalartsaustralia Artlands 2021 has been designed as a hybrid model so it can be adapted to different circumstances. Our priority is to create a safe and successful experience for our delegates, speakers, supporters and partners.

The continually changing state and territory lockdowns create many moving parts and make it increasingly difficult to plan for the physical movement of speakers and delegates to Artlands from all across the country. In order to ensure the safety of Artlands participants, we have made the difficult yet necessary decision to move to a full hybrid digital program.

Artlands 2021: The Space Between will become five regional ‘in-person’ gatherings, held together by the digital infrastructure that also allows for at-home viewing.

This means:

– Our Launceston venue has become a hub for Tasmanian-only speakers and delegates.

– All sessions in the digital program will be streamed live.

– Delegates can attend one of the five regional hubs:

@junctionartsfestival in Launceston (TAS)
@araluenartscentre in Mparntwe (NT)
@empire_theatre in Toowoomba (QLD)
@redearthartsprecinct in Karratha (WA)
@fabrik.arts in Lobethal (SA)

If there isn’t a hub in your state or you are unable to travel to your state hub – we are aware there are significant distances across states and territories – you can join us online from your workplace, home or studio with an Artlands digital ticket.

The team at Regional Arts Australia want to thank you for supporting Artlands. Thank you to our regional hub partners, stakeholders, funders, speakers and delegates.

We look forward to connecting and working together to deliver a region-to-region national conversation, while redefining what a “gathering” can mean in these times. This truly is the space between!

Please join us for Artlands at your nearest regional hub or connect with Artlands online. Digital Artlands tickets are available now for $150, as are in-person tickets for our regional hubs. Visit the Artlands website and purchase your ticket via the link in our bio.

Heal Country is the theme for this year’s Nation

Heal Country is the theme for this year’s National NAIDOC week.

Maggie-Jean Douglas, a Gubbi Gubbi artist from South East Queensland created the artwork Care For Country, that was selected as the winner in the 2021 national NAIDOC poster competition.

We are loving the details, patterning, colours and story-telling that Maggie-Jean has included in her artwork and were delighted to find out more about her on the National NAIDOC website.

To hear Maggie-Jean speak about her piece visit: https://player.vimeo.com/video/568670779

Fabrik acknowledges that we undertake our business on the traditional lands and waters of the Peramangk and Kaurna people.

We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging as the Custodians of this ancient and beautiful land for they hold the memories, traditions, spiritual relationships, culture and hopes of the First Nations of Australia.

We are committed to working together to ensure that Peramangk and Kaurna culture and traditions are sustained, valued and continuing.

Together we will care for this country for the generations to come and in this context the decisions we make should be guided by the principle that nothing we do should decrease our children’s ability to live on this land.

How often do we take the time to reflect on our strengths? And how quickly do we lose sight of them when the going gets tough?

These wonderful merit badges were made with the assistance of the clever and ever-industrious @sue_garrard (using vintage teaspoons and other recycled materials). They remind us (and more importantly their makers) of the resilience and strength of the human spirit.

The makers were from our fire-affected community and the workshop was funded by Wellbeing SA, enabling us to engage facilitator Kate McEwen from Apply Within Centre for Wellbeing to incorporate a mindfulness approach into the workshop.

The badges will be exhibited as part of our Hidden Treasures exhibition, along with other creations, objects and reflections from our community, developed throughout this project. As residents embrace resilience after the fires, Hidden Treasures turns attention to the positive things in our community, the happy memories and exciting visions for the future.

Hidden Treasures
19-29 May
Open 10am-4pm daily

How wonderful is this blanket, made up of lots of

How wonderful is this blanket, made up of lots of pieces of Onkaparinga blanket samples? It is proudly held by Bill Nehmy, whose mother created the blanket many years ago.
Bill grew up in Mannum where his parents established Nehmy’s Emporium after they migrated to Australia from Lebanon. Bill remembers driving up to Lobethal with his dad, to collect the blankets from the Mill to sell in the emporium. Often they would also come home with a sample book, containing swatches of blanket samples that could be used to select their next purchase of goods. Bill’s enterprising mum would deconstruct these sample books and hand stitch or crochet the swatches together to make blankets for people in need. This image shows Bill proudly holding the blanket that the family still retains in memory of their mum’s handiwork, thrift and generosity.

If you have any stories relating to the Onkaparinga Woollen Mill or their iconic blankets, we’d love to hear from you as we start our preparations for our heritage interpretation here at Fabrik, celebrating this significant part of Australia’s manufacturing history.

Pauline Cockrill, historian and curator from @historysa will be at Fabrik every Tuesday morning (10am- 12noon) during April, to collect stories about the mill.

You can also connect with us by email: fabrik@ahc.sa.gov.au

Our ‘Portrayals of a Pandemic’ exhibition shar

Our ‘Portrayals of a Pandemic’ exhibition shares letters exchanged during the winter of 2020.
Collaborating with the fabulous folk at @writerssainc participants undertook three workshops over three months, with established writers:
-Melanie Knight, founder of Melbourne’s @dead_letter_club
-Dr Kylie Cardell - author of Dear World: Contemporary Use of the Diary
-Poet Jill Jones
Each workshop had a different focus: writing from memory, writing in place and writing with hope for the future.
Each letter was posted to Fabrik where it was photographed before being forwarded on to another writer.
This exhibition shows the images of those letters, giving insight into the fears and hopes held during these very early months of the pandemic.

Portrayals of a Pandemic
Thursday-Sunday
11am-4pm
Until March 14
