Event description

Come along and observe the creation of Eleanor Noir's bird drawing installation in-progress at Wittunga Botanic Gardens. Over two days, the artist will be on-site creating cut out bird drawings for her installation 'Our Beating Hearts, Their Beating Wings: An Interspecies Murmuration’, a work that focuses on bird species loss and community resilience. This project invites the community to participate by submitting their photographs of birds in flight for the artist to draw into the installation. You are invited to submit your photos in person at the event or online at https://ellienoir.com/nature-festival-2024

This event is free and no booking is required. A map at the entry gate of Wittunga Botanic Garden will direct you to the rotunda where the Live Drawing event is taking place.
