The residency was a ten-day interdisciplinary field school which took as its starting point our relationship to the lands of the Wodi Wodi and the Yuin of the South Coast region at the unique cultural and environmental context of Bundanon.

Core to Forms for Encounter and Exchange is an emphasis on peer learning by way of encounter and exchange through a program of artist-led workshops, performances, lectures, reading circles, and experimental creative explorations. The program is complimented by sessions run in collaboration with Traditions Owners including storytelling around the campfire, shared meals, bushwalks, field trips and public engagement. The residency is being led by Dr Jodi Edwards, Associate Professor Marnie Badham, Professor Stephen Loo, Dr Amy Spiers, Dr Polly Stanton, Dr Alan Hill and Dr Kelly Hussey-Smith.
