For City of Ballarat’s Heritage Weekend this year Amy has been working on Living Heritage: Trades & Traditions, an exciting project bringing local history to life through collaboration with graphics and performing arts students from Federation Uni’s Arts Academy and the rich resources of local history held by our people, libraries and museums.
Trades & Traditions celebrates Ballarat’s culture of innovation and community, inviting visitors to explore a trail of photographs, history, and stories in shop windows en route between the Ballarat Railway Station, Mining Exchange, Mechanics Institute, and Town Hall, bringing to life the world of some of the city’s early 20th century traders and traditions.
Assisting at ABC Open, Amy took an ipad filmmaking workshop with local youth to answer ‘Life’s Big Questions.’ Hosted by the Ballarat Library, some of the staff got involved:
The Space Between is a gallery work inviting participation and engagement around the theme of books and reading.
Through visual art, sound, and interactive elements, this show explores how books and knowledge are being experienced, stored, and shared amid technological advancements.
Part love letter to books, part inquiry into the possibilities of digital, people can get involved with workshops, research materials, talks, a pop up library, and evolving artworks in both paper and digital forms.
