Morning all. Over the next few days I will be live blogging my travels for our Snapshots of Remote Communities project from the office of our project partners, Artspace Mackay.
This year Snapshots of Remote Communities focussed on schools around the Mackay region. Initiated by the National Museum of Australia in 2003, Snapshots of Remote Communities is a partnership venture between the National Museum, regional museums/galleries, and Australian primary schools.
The participating students take photographs to celebrate, inspire, and show the diversity of communities around Australia. Students also learn about the process of designing and displaying their work in an exhibition.
Staff from Artspace Mackay and myself are visiting schools and the opening of the students' exhibitions over the next few days. Our schedule is:
Wednesday: Eungella State School
Thursday: Gargett State School, Coningsby State School, and Eton North State School
Friday: Dundula State School, Oakenden State School, and Bloomsbury State School.
We're about to scoot off to Eungella State School now - we are meeting the students and also helping with the hanging of the exhibition. Check back later to see some the exhibition hanging in process. Linda has also promised to find a platypus in the national park for the blog too...
