Sometimes ecosystems can be illuminated in unexpected and touching ways. Anne Wen, Eddie Conde, Oonagh O’Dwyer, Kayla Wade-Lehman from ANU Art and Design have certainly shown that with their tapestry landscape, comic and animation.
For their Mulloon-engaged project this semester, we invited them to provide visually engaging material to accompany the scientific data we will share in storymaps and other content about the way the in-stream structures create habitat for frogs, platypus and other creatures. The team got to see some examples at Lorrina (revisit the blog here), and figured out how to wed together their skillsets with a vibrant multi-media approach.
Along the way they fell in love with the life of freshwater creeks, as their testimonial below suggests!! We’re thrilled that you came on this journey with us. Thank you Eddie, Anne, Kayla and Oonagh for playing your part in the science communication challenge, and best of luck with the rest of your studies!!
This engagement with ANU Art & Design was supported by the Landscape Function Toolkit (LiFT) project, a climate resilience project funded by the Australian Government under the National Heritage Trust’s Climate-Smart Agriculture Program.
