Elisa Jane Carmichael has curated an evening to celebrate saltwater resources through gathering, feasting, yarning, and weaving. Bring your own saltwater stories to share and hear from Uncle Bob Andersen, Ngugi elder of Moreton Island (Moorgumpin) and senior member of the North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) community. Weave a collaborative ghost net using ropes from discarded sea debris, using traditional loops and knots.

Carmichael is a Ngugi woman from Quandamooka Country (Moreton/Moorgumpin and Stradbroke Island/Minjerribah), whose practice draws inspiration from her cultural identity and heritage to preserve her connection to the sand and sea (Yoolooburrabee). She works with painting and weaving, textile design and fashion. She has exhibited with Lendlease, Onespace, the Powerhouse, and The Box, Meanjin/Brisbane, and with The Cube and at Heathrow Airport, London.
