SUMMARY:Meditation and Creative Expression
DESCRIPTION:Join Elizabeth Hunter in an exclusive guided meditation and creative expression activity within the NorthSite gallery. \nThis 45-minute guided meditation invites you to connect and reflect on your body\, mind and inner thoughts. \nArtist Elizabeth Hunter (trained in Transcendental Meditation and Art Therapy) is a skilled meditation facilitator and will create a secure environment for participants to connect with their internal state. \nThis progressive meditation session will start with a bodily check-in\, allowing for full relaxation before moving into a meditative state of mind. \nFollowing the guided visualisations and meditation which will provide openness\, inspiration and insight for participants\, we will then move into a creative activity. \nThis activity will involve drawing images or making notes upon paper\, bought about through the meditative experience and the artist’s guidance before passing these messages into the either. \nAfterwards\, you are invited to share your experience with the group if you wish.  \nBOOK TODAY \n\nThese two activities are designed to enhance people’s transpersonal experience and creative expression as we embrace the Day of the Dead. During this period the veil between the living and the dead is believed to be its thinnest. \nIt’s a period that involves family and friends gathering to pay respects and to remember close family members and ancestors who have past. \nIt’s a time to be aware that death is our constant companion\, and if acknowledged and embraced\, the time of passing in our last rite of passage is one not to be feared. \nMeet in the Main Gallery Room for an exclusive guided meditation experience surrounded by Elizabeth Hunter’s retrospective solo exhibition\, il cranio carta. \n\nWhat to bring\nIn celebration and remembrance please bring a flower and a photo of a loved one who passed.  \n\nAbout the exhibition\nElizabeth Hunter is showcasing her retrospective solo exhibition il cranio carta at NorthSite Contemporary Arts.

SUMMARY:Embodied Listening and Binaural Recording Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join contemporary artist Melissa Ryke for a one day workshop in Embodied Listening and Binaural Recording.\nSoundwalks form part of Melissa Ryke’s artistic research on embodied listening. Embodied listening can be framed through the discourse of phenomenology and places the body at the centre of lived experience. It highlights how the body is the medium that allows us to enter in relation with the world. Embodied listening is listening and recording as a sensorial haptic experience; using all the senses. During this walk you will be blindfolded and guided through a particular soundscape for deep meditative listening practice that will help open your ears. This will be accompanied by a drawing session that maps out your experience and a group discussion.\nBinaural recording (where our ears are/where our ears aren’t)\nThis part of the workshop is an extension of the soundwalking experience and explores binaural recording practices – a type of recording that replicates how we hear sound. Binaural = with two ears. By following our ears and choreographing different paths we explore a field recording practice through movement\, proximity & distance. A field recording practice can help us reflect on how we each listen differently\, the limits of our ears and technical gear\, active listening\, and uncompromised listening (where we expose our ears to every sound) and reactivate our sense of hearing.\nThis workshop requires no prior knowledge or skills in recording. It would suit those interested in sound\, embodied listening\, binaural recording\, field recording\, meditation and art practice. All ages and abilities welcome.\nAbout the artist:\nMelissa Ryke is an Australian artist currently based between Brussels and Australia. In July 2022 she undertook a residency at AADK. In Lille\, France from 2018-2022 she undertook a state supported studio residency at Le Carré des Artistes. The outcome of the residency were several community projects and events involving the local residents. Ryke studied Fine Arts in both Australia and France and has recently completed the European Postgraduate in Art in Sound at KASK\, Ghent in June 2020.\nRyke’s practice-led research focuses on a critical and playful investigation of the quotidian and experimentation with installation and time based media. Through these mediums the key notion of a bodily experience in space is explored from a phenomenological framework. Recent projects have been focused on embodied listening; listening and recording as a sensorial experience.\n10am – 12.30pm – Soundwalk\n12.30 – 1.30pm – Lunch Break. BYO\n1.30pm – 5pm – Binaural Recording\nWhat to bring:\nComfortable clothes and shoes for walking (slow paced)\nMosquito repellant for general outside use\nSunscreen/Hat\nHeadphones or earbuds\nIf you own a sound recorder\, binaural microphones – bring along.\nIf you have questions about the workshop please contact connect@northsite.org.au \n  \nJoin the workshop \n

His engaged\, participative practices provoke audiences to comprehend\, envisage and imagine collective pathways towards sustainable futures.

Her work is informed and shaped by community engaged methodologies; and a deep questioning and reorienting of community and ecology; encompassing the complexnatural environments\, non-human relationships and dynamics we are inherently a part of. Daniele works with care\, transparency and with relationships at the centre of the work. \nDonna Davis — Visual Artist\, Yuggera + Ugarapul Country \nDonna Davis explores the nexus between art and science.

As an artist\, she is intrigued with the idea of connection\, and works across a range of media including sculpture\, installation and digital media to explore connections and relationships with the natural world. She believes that the art/science field provides a powerful catalyst to challenge our discourse\, raise environmental awareness and promote conservation of our ecology: by providing new ways of ‘seeing’ and creating new ‘connections’ in the mind of the viewer. \nDelissa Walker — Artist \nDelissa Walker is a Kuku Yalanji woman from the Mossman/Daintree Rainforest region of Far North Queensland. \n\n  \nCome Along \n  \n\n \n  \nThis project has been assisted by the Australian Government through the Australia Council\, its arts funding and advisory body.

SUMMARY:Art Writing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join arts writer Tess Maunder as she guides you through an introduction to arts writing structures\, focusing on artist bios and reviews. \n“Writing about visual art and wider culture is essential to thinking critically\, communicating with the public and integral to understanding\, evaluating and visually analyzing artworks. \nIt’s a great skill to develop and continue to hone throughout your practice. \nWriting doesn’t have to be complicated\, and actually writing without too much inflated language makes the most accessible text for readers.” \nJoin Tess Maunder as she discusses a range of different writing structures that you\, as an artist or a person interested in or currently working in the arts\, may need to know. \nThese include:\n1. Develop an exhibition review\n2. Develop an artist statement and/or professional bio \nThe workshop will be structured in three sessions. The first session will be largely listening to an overview of each type of text\, and best-practice surrounding text with a Q&A session. In the second session\, we will break into groups with a focus on either of the above choices and will together develop some writing. In the third session\, we will present our findings and something we learnt from the day. \nWorkshop timeline:\n9:45 AM — Arrive at NorthSite at Bulmba-ja\, 96 Abbott Street\, Cairns City 4870\n10:00 AM — First and second session\n12:30 PM — Light food\, tea and coffee provided\n1:00 PM — Third session\n2:00 PM — Concludes workshop \nThis workshop is usually valued at $160 per person but we are able to offer a discounted price of $45 per person.
