Why are you here? It's the question three Ballarat based artists are asking the wider community in response to the theme of connection and belonging. What holds people here in Ballarat? What connects them to and within the community? Artists Robyn Barnett, Sylvia Aguirre and Diana Paez are creating a large-scale installation weaving together your responses though film, sound, photography and textiles. Community participation is at the heart of the work.
The final installation will be exhibited at the Unicorn Collection, 131 Sturt Street, Ballarat Central during Ballarat Craft and Design Week. You are invited to get involved. Take part in a community workshop, or simply drop in a piece of your work at one of several collection points and then share in the experience of the exhibition.
