TRACE Regional Collaborative Arts Project

“Trace” (v)

Originating from late 14c., tracen, “follow (a course); draw a line, draw or make an outline of something,” also figurative; “ponder, investigate,” from Old French tracier, traicier “look for, follow, pursue”.

  • “Trace” is an artist led collaborative project which seeks to explore living connections with the regions of the Murrundi (Murray River) in South Australia. It is a project which aims to involve artist and community voices from regional areas which exist closely with the river, exploring intricate histories, ecologies, and living connections with the river. 

  • Artists who live and work in regional communities along the River can join the project. The lead artist Bianca will meet with groups based on location to have a yarn about the project and share stories and ideas. The “making day” is a chance for artists to engage with collaborative arts practice - this could be working with another artist in the project, or co-creating around others, or just experimenting with new ideas. Ideally, artists who are keen to share dialogue, engage respectfully with others, and try new ways of working will gain opportunities to do so in this project.

  • Hoffrichter is a contemporary artist currently living and working on Kaurna Country (Adelaide). She is an Australian artist with German Settler ancestry and whose family grew up in Renmark and Berri. 

    Her practice is experimental, often working with installations which include new technologies and which explore viewer participation in the work. She is a photography based artist, so this often includes the use of photographic technologies, video, sound and projection.
