Building on the success of our inaugural Artist in Residency weekend in 2023, Dr Deborah Early, is excited to announce expressions of interest are now sought for the new –
Bluewater Endeavours – Virtual Art, Science & Design Residency
In a volatile world we need to be able to adapt and we need a fun, supportive community and multidisciplinary toolkit to design a resilient future. Our relationship and behaviour with the natural world have long-term economic and wellbeing effects on our communities and future generations. Not a workshop, a retreat or conference. This novel, 6-week virtual residency, with a focus on “We are Part of Nature”, offers a unique opportunity to collaborate with interdisciplinary experts exploring the intersection of recreation, healthcare, and the built environment. By mindfully blending creativity, innovation, and scientific knowledge, we aim to develop groundbreaking sustainable and regenerative solutions that contribute to a healthier, nature-connected future. This is a virtual program that fosters innovation and collaboration to explore the interconnectedness of art, science, design and the natural world. Participants will investigate their own values, resolve any eco-grief and be inspired by the natural world co-creating impactful works that inspire action and solutions. Let’s shape a brighter future together!
Deborah A. Early, PhD, Founder of The Art of Awareness Studio and an internationally acknowledged artist and scientist, will host and facilitate weekly video calls providing weekly prompts to attendees for group and solo engagement. Dr Early connects people, culture and nature through art and science to redesign public and environmental health. Please refer to the website here for more details.
