Wildflowering and educational resource for Hiromi Tango's Healing garden

In early 2021 it was wonderful to collaborate with artist Hiromi Tango and Megan Williams of USC Art Gallery on developing a Sunshine Coast Healing Garden. A number of  workshops were held at USC Art Gallery in association with the 'Craftivism, Dissident Objects and Subversive Forms' exhibition - a Shepparton Art Museum exhibition, curated by Anna Briers and Rebecca Coates, touring nationally by NETS Victoria. 
Hiromi Tango created an initial education resource with information about her work and process, and instructions on how to create four paper flowers for a healing garden. 
'A Sunshine Coast Wildflowering Inspiration' package was created as a phase II. This includes a reflective essay and collection of wildflowers that have been in bloom over the summer months.
