Cultural residency
Sharing cultural knowledge of water and Country through art.
About
The IWF cultural residency program aims to promote conversation and learning around Indigenous perspectives on water and Country.
Based loosely on the concept of an artist-in-residence, the cultural residency draws on the process of creating art to foster cross-cultural understanding of Indigenous peoples and cultures. The program works towards IWF's mission to celebrate and explore the ancient and contemporary expertise of First Nations Peoples in managing and protecting Australia's waterways.
The 2023 cultural resident was Hozaus Claire - a Bunuba/Gooniyandi man, young community leader and artist from the Kimberly.
The inaugural cultural resident is Rev. Glenn Loughrey -proud Wiradjuri man, Anglican Priest, speaker, writer, and celebrated artist.
