THIS PLACE – Art Exhibition
Sunday 27 Aug – Friday 6 Oct @ CTM
9.00 am – 5.00 pm Mon – Fri |
| THIS PLACE, the exhibition now showing in the CTM gallery, is a group show by members of the VicTas Art and Spirituality Network. It engages many aspects of a sense of place, which artist Rachel Peters believes is “created by the physical earth that we are part of and the people we are connected to.” From the domestic sphere to the global, from the geographic to the metaphoric, we are presented with places physical, social, spiritual and soulful.
The techniques employed by these artists are as varied as the places they represent. The textile artist stitches the features of her locale. A video artist layers the images to create a poetic cry for the earth and the printmaker barely contains his anger about coral bleaching. Several artists reflect on their awareness of the sovereignty of indigenous connection to Country. One artist found her clan, and sense of belonging, attending a vigil in support of asylum seekers at the State Library in Melbourne; another dreams of the flowering of modern man in his garden of earthly delights. Song of the Elements is a 9 minute video artwork by Karin Till. It will be screened on a loop in G4 between 12.00 pm and 2.00 pm on most days. |

Passionately Christian, Compassionately Interfaith

| Religions are intimately entwined in our contracting and interconnected world. For Christian leaders to engage this world with confidence and graciousness, we need to be deeply formed by Christian sources and broadly informed by interreligious resources.

It can be taken for academic credit towards a qualification at undergraduate or postgraduate level and is also open to anyone who might wish to attend as an audit student.
