Sculptural Walks with Bianca Hester - 'Healing landscapes'

Come along to a sculptural walk as part of Bianca Hester's Circuits of solar descent work at Sculpture in the Garden!

Bianca Hester's work involves a walking series, un-mown circles of grass as gathering points, and bronze sculptures bearing impressions of Illawarra-based plant life from across timescales.

The focus of this walk, Healing landscape, is upon plant knowledge and healing held by esteemed Dharawal Wodi Wodi elder Aunty Joyce Donovan.

Aunty Joyce will share Dharawal medicinal knowledge of local plants held in the Wollongong Botanic gardens on a walk that will emphasise processes of deep listening and sensory engagement.

Meet at the grass circle on the Mercury Lawn (see site 9A on the map).

This free event is part of this year's exciting Sculpture in the Garden Wollongong 2025 exhibition! For more workshops and events, check out the event page.
