RECOVERY

A fusion of creative arts and citizen science

ABOUT THE PROJECT

This Eco-arts project linked creative artists with our community of citizen scientists who monitor fire recovery and climate change impacts in the Blue Mountains. 

Throughout 2021, the project team work with the community to develop citizen science narratives, participate in workshops and creative development, and collaborate on presentations of curated images, sounds and stories to be exhibited via multi-artform live events and web-based platforms.

The project culminated in a series of online seminars and a new website: ecoart.space

This project builds on our 15 years of community engagement including environmental arts projects.

In this new initiative, scientists and artists together will co-produce new ecological knowledge – aiming to transform understanding of the relationship between humans and the rest of nature, while informing environmental decision-making by communities and agencies.
