Is self-care an artform? How do we engage with that process? Can our perception be altered by an immersive arts experience which create visceral, three-dimensional experiences which expose the current climate of our eco-systems? Can these experiences stimulate an intrinsic desire to protect and restore life giving environments?

Innocent Bystander is an immersive inter-disciplinary arts experience aimed to stimulate audiences into experiencing alternative ways of viewing both themselves and the environment. To inspire an activism which stems from an intrinsic need to care for ourselves as part of a thriving, ecologically considerate creative community.

Please join us for this container event: art viewing followed by a creative community conversation with Sunshine Coast Ceramicist and Interdisciplinary artist Fiona Cuthbert O’Meara and Barcelona artist, writer, researcher, and educator Dr. Fiona Fell.
