What makes where we live special, and why have people chosen to settle here? What creates culture in a place and how does our community contribute to and celebrate that unique culture?
Robust regional communities are diverse, creative and responsive to change. The people living in them are multi-faceted and often have numerous talents and means of expressing those gifts that make them interesting on a personal and collective level.
Untold Eurobodalla takes a lateral approach to examining the multitude of ways that local residents contribute to the place they call home and shares their distinctive stories through photography, film and the written word.
At a time of significant challenge for many people in the aftermath of the bushfires, and with the ongoing renegotiation of life due to COVID-19, reminding ourselves of what really matters, cherishing what we have and building on our strengths are vital pathways to the future.
The Untold Eurobodalla website will launch in Feb 2021. Visit https://www.untoldeurobodalla.net.au/

Bush Resonance is a three-day outdoor residency for artists to explore their practice though body, imagination and landscape.
How is the environment recovering from the fires that ravaged it in early 2020? How can we pay deeper attention to the subtler aspects in our environment?
Throughout the residency artists can explore the intimate immensity of body, imagination and landscape. The experience will engage all the senses; from deepening awareness in time-based activities, to opening up new ways of perceiving, and to exploring the porous interconnection between human and non-human.
Cost: $50 per person.

What would the bush say if it could speak? What would the burnt-out spotted gum declare? What did the silent falling ash witness on its way to the forest floor? From its monstrous shape and sheer mythical proportions that was the black summer bushfires, communities crash landed into grief, ash and a changed biosphere.
‘Allegories is Ash’ is an intimate performance between a dancer, a cellist and the bush. It is a dedication to the flora, insects, birds, animals and human communities impacted by the fires.
Cost: $10 per person.
