This is the last week to see the incredible installation 'Rise and Fall' by local Indigenous artist Karla Dickens. As a Wiradjuri woman who has lived on Bundjalung country for many years, Karla explores climate catastrophe from a First Nations perspective and through her own lived experience.
Through large photographic works, sculptures and installations, she conveys the urgent ideas of what it means to fight for survival and change in a world hanging by a thread, where shared responsibility for action is crucial.
'Rise and Fall' was reimagined for Byron Shire Council’s 'Climate Conversations' – a creative initiative that invites Northern Rivers artists to collaborate with community and explore ways we can adapt, re-organise, and evolve in the face of climate change through the arts.
The theme for the second iteration of 'Climate Conversations' was ‘Rising’.
The community can engage with the project through our Rescue Mission Making Space which is running throughout the last week of the exhibition.
The gallery is open Wednesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm and the exhibition concludes this Saturday 9 August.
