I am thrilled that I will be undertaking a site specific project with Jika Jika Community Centre this year and into 2024.
It is a local placemaking project which explicitly addresses loneliness, mental health, and social connection through the use of purposeful designed integrated site specific artwork.
This collaboration resulted in a successful application to the Victorian Department of Jobs, Precincts and Regions. This project will lead to the removal of the old childcare fence that surrounds the premises and its replacement, a work of art will be constructed, enhancing and transforming various spaces in and around Jika Jika Community Centre.
‘De-Fence Against Loneliness’ consultation began in March 2023 with the Wurundjeri Woiwurrung Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Corporation.
