Your facilitator: Rhae Kendrigan
Rhae is a socially and environmentally engaged artist based on Latji Latji Country (Mildura) and working across regional Victoria and NSW. Their work as a practicing artist and creative producer explores the intersections between body and place, serving as a process for understanding systems awareness. Their performance practice is grounded in a deep connection to landscape via the methodology of Bodyweather, a comprehensive training and performance practice that develops a conscious relation to the state of change inside and outside the body.
Your landscape: Mallee Conservation
Kindly hosted by Fiona and Phil Murdoch at Raakajlim- a private conservation site adjoining Hattah-Kulkyne National Park. Their purpose is to create a community built around the restoration of habitat in the Mallee and beyond. They are restoring a functioning, semi-arid landscape; a diverse habitat and sanctuary for threatened plants and animals. This is a unique opportunity to explore the various landscapes within the 490 hectares- including black box and saltbush of the dry creek bed, semi-arid pine, Mallee woodland and loamy sandhills.
