In this creative workshop, teens aged 13-16 years will discover how to weave using recycle materials discarded in our oceans to create a collaborative art piece.
Also known as ghost nets, abandoned fishing nets pose a big threat to marine life and birds, and can travel extremely long distances with currents and tides. However, First Nations communities and artists are repurposing them to create beautiful works of art and sculptures that tell traditional stories.
Led by local artists and facilitators trained by the Ghost Net Collective, children will be taken on a short tour of Garrigarrang, one of the AM's permanent First Nations galleries, to learn how First Nations communities have used weaving and sustainable traditions for tens for thousands of years.
Young minds will be inspired to raise awareness about the importance of caring for country and reducing waste.
Note: Please bring or wear clothes that you’re okay with getting dirty as the ghost nets can be grubby.
Fee applies.
