Caravan Schooling Textile Workshops with Indigenous Artist

Yaama,

Thank you for your well constructed proposal.
I enjoyed seeing the potential of artist residency caravans and find it very exciting.
There are a number of established art communities around the country that may be willing to "buddy" the caravan providing ability for the artist to stay connected to community as well as teach via the suggested model.
Where there is art there are stories, these stories are sacred and over 80,000 years old thats why i feel the dislogue between community run art centres is important so the sanctity of designs and stories can be maintained.
Also regarding the social justice aspects of the project; skill sharing, relationship building etc perhaps it is worth considering that a great many of these ancient sites and song lines even the snimals now are under threat and at any one time there are a number of land protectikn actions and campaigns taking place. So that the designs and the collective are actively taking care of the country that is facilitating this project could the designs incorporate the campaigns ? Further strengthening the relationships between protector, country, traditional owner and artist, and settler.

This is an exciting proposal .
