Shoe School in Wellington New Zealand. This 5 day workshop provides a great ‘adventure’ holiday experience resulting in a beautiful pair of shoes. Making a pair of shoes is not only a transformative experience, it is a skill that has almost disappeared in NZ. Shoe School is changing this by providing skills to make your own shoes. Launched by Lou who has been joined by teacher Gemma. Together they have helped students create hundreds of shoes of their own custom design. http://www.shoe-school.com/
untitled (maraong manaóuwi) comprises over 2000 maraong manaóuwi/broad arrow designs created with red and white gravel sourced from Wiradjuri Country, covering 2500 square metres of the Hyde Park Barracks courtyard. Visitors can walk on the work, a process that intentionally results in the work’s slow destruction. This performative act questions memory, our individual roles in history, and the protection and preservation of cultural sites. Marking the reopening of the Hyde Park Barracks, the design symbolises the maraong manaóuwi (emu footprint) and the English broad arrow as a way of understanding history and cultural relations. https://sydneylivingmuseums.com.au/
