(f)route
artist in residence Samara McIlroy will be in the valley for the second part of
her project, which kicked off with a Pop-Up Museum at the Taste of Tubbut in
February. Travelling from Bonang to McKillop's Bridge over three days (Tuesday
10th – Thursday 12th April) she is undertaking a mapping
exercise to gather content for her speculative PASSIONfruit Portable Community
Museum.
The
PASSIONfruit Portable Community Museum is a celebration of community, local history
and sharing the fruit harvest. Samara is seeking people who are interested in
having conversations, sharing personal
stories, or passing on their knowledge and practical skills. It's all about
growing, cooking, preserving, eating and harvesting fruit.
Project
outcomes will include:
·
Collated fruit
histories, artist maps and audiovisual documents
·
Newsletter; online and
printed
·
Prototype for portable
museum
·
Design for a (f)route
