During September and October I will be spending a number of weeks working in Bordertown, in the South East of South Australia. I will be conducting a number of workshops with students at the Bordertown High School, leading towards a couple of murals painted in the school and a larger mural in the town itself.
The project has been initiated by Country Arts SA and involves a number of artists working with a range of community groups in the town, resulting in diverse outcomes. An overarching theme running through the programs is a pursuit of conversations around the idea of borders, more generally. The larger project, as a whole will be summarized in a publication inviting writers to respond to the ideas and outcomes generated.
