WORK IN PROGRESS
EXHIBITION: artworks from Creative Recovery & GhostNet Gear
22 SEPT 15 OCT

The theme for this exhibition centres on ideas of how recovery of land and person is linked to wellbeing and encouraged by social connectedness. It examines what makes us [us = land, sea and people] feel better. The title Work In Progress suggests the notion of an ongoing journey, as research has shown there is no end point to recovery, it evolves as circumstances and environments challenge and change.

The exhibition features outcomes from two Arts in Health initiatives which have been operational in Far North Queenslands remote indigenous communities. Creative Recovery is a community arts based approach to mental health recovery in remote Indigenous communities. GhostNet Gear is a project focused on recycling reclaimed ghost nets that have washed up on the beaches of the Gulf, into saleable artworks.

Both projects offer participants unique opportunities for social enterprise by utilising creativity as the tool for meaningful engagement.
