Twelve sculptors were chosen to research and create a story vessel to represent the stories of the twelve wards of The City of Greater Geelong. I organised the community meetings for nine of the sculptors including myself. This involved facilitating 27 meetngs. I then documented and curated the exhibition of the twelve story vessels at three locations (Geelong City Hall, Johnstone Park and Federation Square). This was part of the project called Connecting Identities in which other artists consulted with other communities to record stories, write and compose songs, poetry and performance art.
Notes
The exhibition was created for three different conferences/events: Regional Arts Victoria (RAV) Symposium, 2-3 October, 2009 (Geelong City Hall), Geelong; Mouth To Mountain (the culminating event for the project Connecting Identities), 9th May 2009 (Johnstone Park), Geelong; ReGenerating Community Conference Sept 2-4, 2009.
