Flying Green Fish - Jayanto Tan and Diamando Koutsellis

Drop into this site-specific installation and put your hands to work – create some raw clay art which will culminate in a school of fish on the canal.

The Long Table

You're invited to take a seat at the ‘Table Talk’ and join a discussion exploring the Art in the Anthropocene.

Using the setting of a domestic dinner table where talk is the only course, this Table Talk aims to generate an open discussion. Led by artist Maria White, the role of speaker and spectator is interchangeable as anyone can take an empty seat at the table and participate.

Table Setting
The Anthropocene era is characterised by significant human influence on the natural environment, and artists and community leaders are responding by creating artwork that promotes sustainability and environmental justice.

Aunty Joanne Selfe, Dr Tarruna Sebastian, Latai Taumoepeau and Kassandra Bossell will join us at the table to unpack and explore how the creative industry and community leaders are achieving this goal, beyond recycling and upcycling.

Maria White  & Emma McManus
The Long Table is an open-source public discussion format devised by Split Britches.

White's Creek Catchment in the Rain

-
Checked out White's Creek Catchment in the rain with a few long time residents including an 82 year old who was born at the Private Hospital where the Leichhardt Bolo is and moved to where she lives now when she was 1. She has seen a few changes and people come and go.    Ferris Lane looked fabulous!    The new lintel in Ferris Street seemed to be working well - residents have worked with council to make this happen along with cleaning out nearby drains and gutters.   Evan Jones Playground had a tree down. And a few other trees need mulching.     Water was flowing out of the grate where Styles Street crosses White's Creek and different drivers approached the puddle. The 150 year old salt glazed pipe was still working too!    Photos and Videos at https://www.instagram.com/p/CMvolNkD2Pb/

The Rev. Leonard Mervyn Williams and his wife Dilys came to the Hunter Baillie in 1956. The church was in decline and the threat of falling masonry had made it impossible to obtain public liability insurance. (p39, Hunter Baillie ) Dilys conducted alternate services at Leichhardt and Hunter Baillie Presbyterian churches with her husband and was inducted, in 1969, as the first woman Elder in NSW. (p41, Hunter Baillie ). Ferguson Library Archivist mentioned in her talk at the church on 4 September 2010, that Dilys Williams in the 1930s had applied to the Presbyterian Church of Australia General Assembly to be Accepted as a candidate for the Ministry. Her application was "laid on the table" and was never dealt with. The stained glass window on the northern side of the church was restored in memory of the Williams' time at the church. "Back in the 1950's after first attending Sunday School in the morning the older children were then taken into the chu...
