Talk to the author/s about SCANZ 2009 Symposium Schedule

kath odonnell said

just a quick note to say thanks very much to Trudy & Ian for organizing the residency & especially the symposium. and thanks to all the artists who took part. I really enjoyed all the talks – it was great to see such a range of works. and nice to meet those I did. it felt like a good community & it was great to be able to talk about these topics (as other groups I’m in have different conversations). I’m still reading over some of the notes taken during the symposium. some were very inspiring – if only there was more time!

I’d be interested to hear more about the work / ideas during the residency. will the artists be updating this site?

thanks again to all
