About the event

Drawing Our Ground: Art and Community Connection
Join us once again at York's Hollow, near Ibis Island.

This gathering is dedicated to Wild Drawing and conversation.

Come ready for an enjoyable, informal afternoon where art and conversation flow together naturally.

We invite you to engage with the landscape through responsive, reciprocal mark-making. Whether you're drawing while standing, sitting, or moving through the space, you'll be encouraged to let your senses guide your creative process.

It’s time to get together and discuss the Olympics and what they will mean for our communities.

The proposed destruction of Barrambin is typical of what happens in cities which host the Olympics.

Time and again, the Olympics prove destructive to local communities in host cities globally.

How can we make are communities resilient in the face of this? What action can we take to Save Barrambin?

What is Wild Drawing?

Wild Drawing is an experiential practice that emphasizes sensory connection, emotional engagement, and a playful, responsive approach to mark-making.

This practice serves as a way to ground yourself in both familiar and unfamiliar landscapes, fostering a deeper relationship with the natural world around you.

What We'll Provide

All materials will be available for participants, including:

Drawing paper ranging from small formats to A3 size
Watercolour pencils
Sketching pencils
Wax crayons
Thick and thin-tipped colour markers
Clipboards and hard cardboard squares for drawing support while standing or sitting in various positions

We have enough supplies for a small group of participants to share and explore with.

If you're already passionate about drawing and have your own art materials, please feel free to bring them along! Personal tools can enhance your connection to the practice.

York’s Hollow is a part of Barrambin which is of particular significance to Indigenous People.

This event to being held on Turrbal and Yuggera land. We acknowledge the Elders past and present. Sovereignty was never ceded.
