Walking Workshops with DrawSpace Gallery

As part of the events series for the ’Walk With Me’ exhibition – where I am showing my ‘Disobedient Wildlife’ drawings – we ran two different drawing and mapping walks.

WATER WALK Saturday 30 November, 9.30 am – 12 midday

Join the team from Mapping Edges – Alexandra Crosby, Ilaria Vanni, Sarah Jane Jones and artist Holly O’Neil – on an ethnographic walk tracing the flow of stormwater from DRAW Space in Newtown to the wetlands at Sydney Park.

DISOBEDIENT WILDLIFE DRAWING WALK Sunday 8 December, 10 am – 12 midday

An ibis explores a bin; cockatoos walk alongside business executives; magpies swoop prams in playgrounds. ‘Disobedient wildlife’ refuse to remain unseen in Sydney, often occupying spaces where they ought not to be. Join anthro-artist, Holly O’Neil, and bird-watching guide, Jade Peace, of ‘Come Bird With Me’, on a walk through the Sydney Park Wetlands to spot the unruly critters of Sydney, exploring how drawing on location can help to tell stories of place, and allow us to see and investigate the layers of history and habitat around us.
