What could our future look like if we prioritise the environment, cultural practices and social wellbeing? What will it look like if we don't? In HARBINGERS: Care or Catastrophe, five diverse artists interrogate these questions.
Artists Chris De Rosa (Port Elliot), Lara Tilbrook (Kangaroo Island), Ellen Trevorrow (Meningie/Coorong), Clancy Warner (Sellicks Beach) and Laura Wills (Adelaide) are united by a strong connection to regional South Australia and artistic practices that draw attention to the interconnectivity of humans and the natural world. They are passionate advocates for collective action to achieve a sustainable future.
These newly commissions works in HARBINGERS: Care or Catastrophe address issues of systemic (mis)management, rising sea levels, migration policies, catastrophic fire events and ongoing colonialism. They also signal hope and offer more viable and balanced ways of being and belonging.
