Forecast

FORECAST is a place for feeling, inviting audiences of all ages and abilities to contemplate trees as family and weather as borderless, amid increasing environmental crisis and divisive times.

Equal parts exhibition, art studio, retreat, and creative weather station, FORECAST presents larger-than-life photographic works by artists Dianne Jones and Eva Fernandez enfolding a series of meditative experiences for participants. The experiential exhibition is created through the artist-led curatorial practices of AGWA’s Head of Learning and Creativity Research, Lilly Blue, ECU’s Centre for People, Place and Planet artist-scholar, Dr Jo Pollitt, together with artists Dianne Jones and Eva Fernandez, and you the visitor.

At a time of increasing climate instability, we invite audiences to engage with First Nations understandings of environment as family, inviting reflection and deepening connection with our changing world.
