Zouwer Projects

Looking forward this event today!

Join us for a timely conversation about food, place and collective action. Canberra’s food landscape is changing. Rising living costs, climate pressures and limited access to land are shaping who can grow food - and where. In response, community gardens, compost hubs, seed libraries and food pantries are becoming vital spaces for connection, care and local resilience.

Presented by Dr Bethaney Turner, Dr Ro McFarlane and Dr Naomi Zouwer from the UC Future of Food Network - a multidisciplinary collaboration across the University of Canberra’s Faculty of Arts and Design, Faculty of Education and Faculty of Health - this talk explores how we can strengthen local food system resilience and sustainability. Drawing on research in Canberra and leading examples from across Australia and internationally, the session considers what supports community-led food initiatives, what challenges them, and what it takes to build a more just and sustainable food future in the ACT.

Participants will also have the opportunity to take part in an optional interactive activity to visually map and reflect on the ideas explored during the session.

• Megalo is excited to be running another School Holiday Program for the July School Holidays!⁠
⁠
Running on 7+8 and 14+15 July, Megalo’s School Holiday Programs offer creative and engaging workshops tailored for young artists, providing a fun introduction to the world of printmaking. The program will deliver two workshops for each age group:⁠
⁠
🔶 Zine Making⁠
A zine is a handmade mini-magazine, a creative way to share ideas, stories and artworks. In this workshop the group will work together to make a collaborative zine. The group will choose a theme and fill the pages with drawings, combining everyone’s designs. Once we’ve designed layout we will expose it onto a screen and each participant will have the chance to screen print their own copy. ⁠
⁠
🔶 Print Your Own Jumper⁠
Step into the shoes of a designer and create your own custom jumper! In this workshop, artists will transform their ideas into bold, eye-catching designs. With guidance from Megalo printers, participants will develop their drawings and expose them onto a screen using the UV exposure unit. Participants will then print their designs onto their own jumper, learning skills that real designers use every day. By the end of the workshop, everyone will have their own custom jumper to wear proudly.⁠
