Key Points
- 'Linear Horizons' was made possible through the collaboration between NorthSite Contemporary Arts and 23 Sampaguita Artists Collective.
- Artists from Baguio's 23 Sampaguita Artists Collective had the opportunity to spend time with the First Nations community in Cairns.
- The project hopes this will be the beginning of a relationship and exchange between cultures including collaboration in the arts and nearby communities.
Speaking from my personal experience growing up in Baguio, there are a few similarities between the two cultures. The First Nations community in Cairns also gives great value to the role of the elders and their relationship to their land.Kunaya Lopez, 23 Sampaguita Artists Collective reflecting on her two-week 'Linear Horizons' printmaking residency in Cairns
