Awakening at Bellahouston Park

Awakening is a free three-day participatory land artwork project created by Scottish/Australian land artist Elaine Clocherty, Wardandi Elder artist Vivian "Nan Viv" Brockman Webb, and Wardandi Custodian Mitchella Hutchins. The project culminates in the creation of a large-scale collaborative bora, an ephemeral land artwork made directly on the earth of Bellahouston Park by artists, participants and visitors working together. Developed through an international collaboration involving artists, researchers and community organisations from Scotland and Australia, the project acknowledges First Nations Peoples of the Commonwealth while exploring shared histories, cultural connections and relationships to land. Across three days, the public is invited to participate in creating the artwork, attend guided walks, join discussions, and celebrate its completion through music and collective gathering.
