arts Embers, Epicorm: Art of the Eurobodalla - A Far South Coast response to the Black Summer Fires of 2019/2020. Coming soon to Willoughby Incinerator Art Space in July, seven female ar1sts from the Eurobodalla region of New South Wales will share their personal crea1ve responses of experiencing the devasta1ng fire event and its a7ermath - capturing elements of regenera1on, hope, resilience and collabora1ve healing, with a stark reminder of the fragility of our enviro-human coexistence and the urgency to enact our environmental responsibili1es. Collec1vely, through pain1ng, printmaking, sculpture, glass and installa1on works, the mul1-genera1onal, Indigenous and non-Indigenous ar1sts, invite viewers to experience the region’s emergence from the ashscape - celebrate the surprising beauty of revival on the most infinitesimal scale, whilst simultaneously grappling with the reality of our personal and environmental vulnerabili1es. Featuring works by Walbunja/Ngarigo Cheryl DavisonOverton, Mirabel Fitzgerald, Jennifer Hawkins, Julie Mia Holmes, Raewyn Lawrence, Amy Schleif and Jo Victoria, Embers, Epicorm provides a unique opportunity for Eurobodalla based ar1sts to share their artwork and stories outside of their region in a metro seXng, in a 1me when grieving and rebuilding a7er the fire event has been disrupted by the onslaught of COVID-19. Embers, Epicorm is curated by Independent Curator, Nicole Wallace. The exhibi1on runs from 6 to 24 July at Incinerator Art Space, 2 Small Street, Willoughby. Join in at the Opening Event Friday 8 July, 6 to 8pm, and the Ar1st Talk on Saturday 9 July from 1 to 2pm.
