This is my lovely friend Lucinda discovering her map on the wall at the opening night of the exhibition. The look on her face just sums up the reason I love working collaboratively with the community here! Swipe to see a few close ups of some of the other maps. Exhibition wraps up August 18th. And an excerpt from the exhibition notes about this particular work: “This process of hand drawing maps aimed to not only record and explore the ways people visually represent place, but to also provide a context in which people could share stories about place. The workshops encouraged interactions and conversations around place that may not happen in the daily routines of life, but that impact us all in the most basic and profound ways. By transferring the drawings onto clay tiles Robson has literally created “mud maps”. The things people choose to include on these maps, as well as the things they don’t, can tell us many things about their relationships with place.” #creativeinresidence #intersectionsandboundaries #araluenartscentre #australianceramics #collaboration

Part of my recent creative-in-residence at @araluenartscentre involved collaborating with the local community. These works have all been made from local clay, gathered in consultation with Traditional Owners. The clay was gathered from an area known as a women’s place, and as such a group of women, all of whom have diverse and unique connections with the local area, were invited to create a map on the local clay. Some have responded with pictorial narrative maps, others with words, favourite mountain biking trails, traditional western cartographic maps, and illustrative maps that show a crossover of western and non-western mapping styles – but all of which tell us something about their connection to Mparntwe/Alice Springs. As maps, these works hopefully convey more than just space, but also something of Place. A special thank you to traditional owners Felicity Hayes and family for supporting and participating in this project, to all you excellent folk @childrensground for facilitating it, and to all the amazing women who took part in this collaboration by thinking about and drawing maps with me - (in order of appearance!) Felicity Hayes, Joy Kuniya, Kim Mahood, Lorraine Donald, Lorrayne Gorey, Jennifer Taylor and Ansara Campbell-Conway, as well as @marinastrocchi, Suzi Lyon, Margaret Poulson, Helen Tjukintja, Garnet Djana, Georgina Landy and Ayla Ryan. 🙏. #intersectionsandboundaries #localclay #mapping #place #mparntwe #arrerntecountry #australianceramics
