Community Interests
In 2018, Anne worked with the Kandos School of Cultural Adaptation to create works for Cementa, a triennial environmental art event.
She has worked with communiites in Australia, Poland, Japan, Sweden and America to enhance their sense of ownership of a place or history. Projects have been Vulnerable Bodies – Art, Architecture and the Public Body in a Hospital Environment, and Imaging Newcastle; Memory and Things, conducted in a retirement village focusing on objects and memory. Moving The Royal, Framing The Memories a research project looking at the possibility of interpretive artworks alleviating stress in times of traumatic change, and Art and the Archive examining the way we look at art and artefacts and measuring emotive response.
Anne curated and produced work for Back to The City 2008 in Newcastle, and The Laneways Project in Sydney 2009. Both projects considered the possibility of urban art as a catalyst for collaboration between artists and architects. From March to July 2010 she completed a residency at Redgate, Beijing in which issues related to memory, loss and replacement with migrant occupants were explored.
In August 2010 Anne collaborated with staff and students from TAMA Art University Tokyo and students from Newcastle University at Australia House Niigata, creating an opportunity for cross cultural communication.
