Four exhibition spaces:
No Edge — Film, Experience and Installation
Artists: What-Makes | Liza Savchuk | Pete Muenchow
No Edge is an experimental music film and site-responsive installation exploring the fluid relationship between body and water. Filmed across wetlands and coastline on Kaurna Country, South Australia, the work combines sound, movement, and imagery to explore and dissolve the boundary between human and environment.
If we are bodies of water, then ecological collapse is an intimate event. The degradation of wetlands, rising ocean temperatures, and agricultural runoff are not external issues, but processes that circulate through us. In South Australia, over 80% of wetlands have been destroyed, while native oyster reefs, once widespread along the coast, have been almost entirely lost. These ecosystems function as natural filtration systems, regulating water health. Their loss contributes to ecological imbalance that intensifies algal blooms, signalling disruption within both ecological and bodily systems. No Edge invites audiences to reconsider boundaries: between body and environment, land and sea, personal and collective.
Alongside the film, the installation will feature Connection Breath, a nature-based pranayama and guided listening experience, inviting audiences to slow down, listen, and experience the elemental relationship between breath, body, and environment.
This project operates at the intersection of art, ecology, and embodied practice. It seeks to cultivate ecological awareness through sensory and affective experience, reframe environmental crisis as relational and immediate, and support tangible regeneration efforts through fundraising and community engagement.
The exhibition opening will include a guided pranayama experience, a screening of No Edge, and a conversation with Surfrider South Australia exploring the ecological issues that underpin the work and the opportunities for collective action to support our waterways and coastlines.
Harvest - Wild Clay Installation
Hosted by artists: Samantha Faehrmann, tid.bit, Irene von Budewitz
With intention + impulse to reflect on the places + processes of contemporary clay practice - a curiosity to close the distances - physically + conceptually, between makers + their raw materials.
Connecting with local clay spots, digging holes + making together in the gallery.
What is it to share this earth?
What is it to make?
What it is to surrender to the transient nature of living, to let go and not insist on extending our physical legacies by firing clay?
Do we make differently knowing it will transform again, rather than becoming solid?
Come ponder + play with us, explore through conversation while considerately making together through this grounding material.
Installation: Sown & Sewn
Artists: Phoebe Hunter and Liza Savchuk
Visual artists Phoebe Hunter and Liza Savchuk come together to combine natural dyeing and seed embroidery in a new participatory artwork that grows across the festival.
Phoebe Hunter is an environmentally conscious artist drawn to circularity and sustainability, exploring the convergence of existing materials to create her ethereal textiles. Liza Savchuk explores storytelling through the collection and embroidery of seed pods and other natural materials. Both practices are rooted in mindful connection to nature, here they meet to make something new.
You're invited to add your contribution. Bring natural materials from your own place, or use those provided, and work them into the installation, a small story stitched into a collective one.
Workshop: Grown Materials: Plant, Seed, Cloth
Alongside the installation, Phoebe and Liza share their skills in natural dyeing and seed embroidery. You'll dye by hand using plants, food waste, and seasonal materials, guided through processes you can repeat at home, then create your own seed story using a range of embroidery techniques, taking an artwork with you.
More details on this workshop coming soon.
