Weaving Symbiosis

Weaving offers profound insight into the deep connection between Indigenous people and Country, rooted in a reciprocal exchange where materials are harvested with a commitment to stewardship, aligned to permaculture. Working with our co-envisioners Twofold Indigenous Corporation at Jigamy Farm, it became quickly apparent how local Indigenous elders gather to practice art, share stories, and strengthen connections. The project thus explores how preserving and adaptively reusing their existing art precinct—alongside a proposed community art studio, exhibition space, reception, shop, and artist residency—can support cultural exchange. The aim is to create a space embodying weaving’s cyclical nature, interweaving local Indigenous communities, artists, and visitors into a network of learning, connection, and shared experience.
