As part of UWA Grand Challenges 'Sustainable Action August' program, you are invited to join a tour of Kirsten Hudson’s exhibition Ode (An Acknowledgement of Sea Country), which was commissioned as part of The Ocean Project 2024.

THE OCEAN PROJECT 2024 is a year-long collaborative project of the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, CSIRO Environment and School of Design UWA, exploring how art might help in communicating the challenges faced by the ocean. Multiple competing concerns, including environmental, social, economic and cultural, all influence the way we manage and impact the ocean environment and its ability to adapt to global change. Western science, First Nations knowledge systems and Citizen science all play a role. Artist Kirsten Hudson has produced artworks that invite viewers to explore their deep connections with the ocean and reflect upon our relationship with the ocean.
