Proud to support some stirring of the creative juices, in the Hotspot Symposium organised by the Albany-based group MIX Artists. The event was part of the Hotspot cultural project in which artists and others are focussing on the environment and history of the Great Southern region through community projects and preparations for an exhibition in early 2006. Speakers, including Paula Deegan, Ross Williams, Harley Coyne and Ian Weir, shared stories, ideas and information about the physical and cultural landscape of the Great Southern region, including Noongar history and culture, landcare projects and the vision Gondwana Link groups are now working to achieve.
