The Coober Pedy Artist Camp reccy 2023 is a collaboration between two Artist-Run Initiatives: Watch This Space (Mparntwe-Alice Springs) and FELTspace (Tarntanya-Adelaide). The last couple of years, they decided to meet in the middle, in Umoona-Coober Pedy.
This year, WTS is excited to return on an artist camp reccy, and we are currently seeking expressions of interest from curators and artists with a passion for curation, investigation, and the town of Coober Pedy to join us, and help shape a participatory curriculum for camps to come.
