“Art in Place” is a workshop program that aims to bring student attention to the important artworks by Indigenous artists on campus, to reflect on their mediation of place, and to provide a platform for students to write and publish their reflections.
It is a collaboration between the Power Institute and Honi Soit, the weekly print and digital student newspaper of the University of Sydney.
The first Art in Place workshop took place on 18 and 19 August 2022, and focused on the campus artwork ‘Spine’ by Bidjara, Ghungalu and Garingbal artist D Harding.
Workshop Outcomes
The participants in the workshops produced a set of short reflections on D Harding’s artwork, which were subsequently published as a lift-out poster in Honi Soit.
You can see the poster below, and on Honi Soit’s website.
