> Saturday October 22 & Sunday October 23, 2022

Our second MAGNETIC EXCURSION happened on Yagarabul, Yuggera, Jagera and Turrbal Country - Meanjin / Brisbane. At 12 noon on Saturday we visited the exhibition A redistribution at Metro Arts. We then met at Rocks Riverside Park at 2pm before walking to the Darra Cementco Bowls Club, where we reconvened at 4:30pm. On Sunday morning Clare, Kenzee and Therese went for a walk together at Nudgee Beach Reserve.

This excursion followed the passage of dredged coral from around Mud Island in Moreton Bay to the site of the old Queensland Cement and Lime Company works at Darra.

On Saturday we visited the exhibition A redistribution, a collaboration between Magnetic Topographies co-founder Kenzee Patterson and the Sydney-based artist Mitchel Cumming. We then met again at 2pm at Rocks Riverside Park, Seventeen Mile Rocks. From here we walked approximately 3.2km to the Darra Cementco Bowls Club, where we reconvened at 4:30pm. Here, we watched a presentation by Professor Felicity Meakins from the School of Languages and Cultures at the University of Queensland. After this we ate dinner together.
