Professor Mike Lee, an Evolutionary Biologist, will take you on an exclusive after-hours guided tour of this year’s finalists of the Australian Geographic Nature Photographer of the Year. Be inspired by the breathtaking natural heritage of the ANZANG region (Australia, New Zealand, Antarctica and New Guinea) and gain a unique insight into the changing nature of our environment and human impact through the camera lens.
Join Artist Swapna Namboordiri for an inspiring, hands-on workshop where creativity and sustainability come together. Guided by Swapna’s unique artistic approach, which is deeply rooted in reimagining the potential of discarded materials, participants will go on a journey of transformation: turning what is often seen as rubbish into something truly valued.
Throughout the evening, participants will explore the art of deconstruction and reassembly, learning how to transform everyday waste into meaningful, sculptural forms. With Swapna’s expert guidance, you’ll delve into the stories and textures of salvaged materials, engaging in a mindful, tactile process that encourages reflection on consumption, beauty, and renewal.
By the end of the workshop, participants will leave with their own completed one-of-a-kind creation that embodies both personal expression and a commitment to sustainable practice.
Come with curiosity, leave with a new perspective of our natural world and your own handmade treasure.
Adults-only event; ticket holders must be +18 years. Everyone welcome, workshop is suited for beginners or participants with no prior art experience.
