SUMMARY:Postponed | APT10 Kids On Tour comes to NorthSite
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED\nDue to the current impact of coronavirus cases within our region\, we have postponed the APT10 Kids On Tour workshops. We endeavour to bring these workshops to the gallery in April 2022.\n\nAPT10 Kids on Tour includes activities developed in collaboration with artists Shannon Novak (Aotearoa New Zealand)\, Phuong Ngo (Australia)\, Syagini Ratna Wulan (Indonesia)\, Jamilah Haji (Thailand)\, Gidree Bawlee Foundation of Arts (Bangladesh) and Vipoo Srivilasa (Thailand / Australia). \nPhuong Ngo’s collage activity Pattern Exchange 2021 is informed by the artist’s interest in the colonial history of cement tiles in Vietnam and invites children to create their own geometric tile design using patterned coloured paper\, scissors and glue\, while Shannon Novak’s Make Visible: Celebrate You 2021 is a digital interactive that asks kids to design a flag to represent their identity and what makes them happy. \nSyagini Ratna Wulan’s activity Atom 2021 invites children to add colour and pattern to a variety of mandala forms often used in spiritual and religious practices\, and Vipoo Srivilasa’s Garden of Love 2021 encourages participants to draw a portrait or write a message to the person they miss the most and is accompanied by Dok Rak\, the animated APT10 Kids ‘flower bear’ mascot\, and friends. \nDeveloped in collaboration with the Gidree Bawlee Foundation of Arts in Bangladesh\, Where Stortles Roam 2021 invites children to use paper templates to make a puppet of an imaginary animal inspired by the Bengali poet Sukumar Roy’s ‘Khichuri (Stew Much)’. In Jamilah Haji’s drawing activity Happiness and Desire 2021\, children of all abilities can think about what makes them happy and what they wish for. \n  \nAPT10 Kids on Tour is free QAGOMA Touring program available to regional Queensland communities\, with thanks to generous support from The Tim Fairfax Family Foundation.\n \n\n\n\n\n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nImage credit: Phuong Ngo / Australia b.1983 / Pattern Exchange 2021 / Commissioned for APT10 Kids with support from the Tim Fairfax Family Foundation / © The artist / Photograph: Chloë Callistemon\, QAGOMA

SUMMARY:Artist Talk with Kate Robertson and special Guest Chief Alex Dawia
DESCRIPTION:Join Artist Kate Robertson and Chief Alex Dawia to discuss her exhibition Kuna Siuwai Pokong – Medicinal plants from Siwai\nAbout this event \nNorthSite Contemporary Arts Invites you to walk through Kate Robertson’s exhibition\, Kuna Siuwai Pokong – Medicinal plants from Siwai with the artist\, discuss her artworks in discuss her artworks in concept and presentation. \nThis exhibition chronicles plants and their medicinal properties from the Siwai region of Bougainville Island\, an autonomous region of Papua New Guinea\, through photographic light recordings. Concerned with the erosion of tacit traditional medicinal knowledge\, Chief Alex Dawia of the Taa Lupumoiku Clan approached and invited Australian artist Kate Robertson to chronicle Siwai plant knowledge for preservation. Chief Jeffrey Noro of the Rura Clan\, also from Siwai\, joined their efforts\, motivated by similar concerns to preserve tacit knowledge systems and provide positive recognition of their region. \nOver five years\, the project has evolved to include photographic prints\, an embroidered fabric panel and a published book to explore how cross-cultural projects can provide mutual benefits through repatriation and transparency. Ultimately\, it is a holistic inquiry into how we might work together across territorial borders\, cultures and skillsets to achieve a shared future. \nHo mi ho kui ngung pekong tokunoi riku\, hoko kukarei ho kui pokong tokunoi rihetong. Uwa ko\, hoi nekong hongowa’a nahamong\, ho kui pokong mi\, ho pokong itikai yi haha’a roro ngo tawah. Ho korokoro rori hungyo\, hoko musimang nekong toku topo inakarei.\n(When you lose the traditional name\, you lose the knowledge of the plant because the traditional name describes the functionality of the plant. Therefore\, when we lose our language\, we are bound to lose our biodiversity because we can no longer find the value in each plant). ”\n– Dr Jeffrey Noro \nArrive at NorthSite\, Bulmba-ja 96 Abbott St\, Cairns City at 11.45am for 12pm talk in gallery 2.\nPlease sanitise and register your details at the entrance for COVID Contact Tracing via paper slip or QR code.\nRSVP via Eventbrite is necessary for all attendees. \nWe look forward to seeing you here!\nNorthSite Team
