SCANZ2017 CBR Call for Participation

Ocean*Energy: From the Mountains to the Sea
The overarching theme of Ocean*Energy seems at first a strange fit for the
inland city of Canberra. But if you look at the geological history of the
city, it occupies what was once an inland sea which opens up a conversation
about deep time and change over time. Close to Canberra is also the source
of the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers, which have provided
hydro-electricity to the region through the Snowy River Hydro-Electric
Scheme.

The theme is deliberately open and provides for a diversity of readings on
what ‘ocean’ and ‘energy’ can be. It can be a literal reading of energy in
terms of electricity, renewables and solar or be ...defined as the effort,
passion and focus of community to make positive environmental changes. It
also allows for discreet discussions on place about islands, oceans,
mountains and rivers. This will provide the opportunity to look at areas
like the Murray and Murrumbidgee Rivers and connect with existing research
and knowledge about Country that could be contributed by participants.

The goal of the event is to encourage thought, ideas and discussion around
environmental issues across disciplines as well as identify means of
positive action at a larger community scale.

Submissions
We invite proposals from artists, scientists, knowledge keepers/custodians
and technologists for residency projects, papers, transdisciplinary
