Nauti

Nauti Studios Sydney is on Gadigal land and Nauti Studios Blue Mountains is on Dharug and Gundungarra land. These are the true and traditional custodians of the lands on which we work and we are disappointed with the outcome of the national referendum on amending the Constitution to recognise the First Peoples of Australia through the establishment of an Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Voice. In Stanmore 86.9% of residents voted ‘yes’ and in Hazelbrook 61.7% did the same. Nauti Studios stands with the results of our electorates.

Nauti Sailor Sabrina spoke to artist Lea Kannar-Lichtenberger about their exhibition Antarctica: All to Lose now showing at the Chrissie Cotter Gallery. For many Antarctica will remain remote, seen only through the lens of a camera and Antarctica: All to Lose proposes that perhaps it should remain that way. Read all about it here.

Produced in association with the Blue Mountains World Heritage Institute, the year long project affectionately named the Swamp Residencies brings together artists, ecologists and bush regeneration experts for ‘creative swamp research’ in  Gundungarra and Dharag country. Exhibited at Articulate Project Space Immersion: Conversations from the Swamp Residencies presents works by the twelve participating artists including Dr Cheryle Yin Lo, an interdisciplinary artist and regular workshop facilitator at Nauti Studios in Hazelbrook. Soon after opening in late August I spoke with Cheryle about their experience. 

In 2012 Sabrina was in Buenos Aires, Argentina, interviewing the now internationally acclaimed artist Adrián Villar Rojas, speaking about ‘My Dead Family’, an installation exhibited in the Biennale of the End of the World held in Ushuaia, Argentina.
