Artist in Residence Ana Tiquia has returned to complete Seeder Futures, the artwork she has been developing over the last 12 months as a part of her SPACED Rural Utopias residency here at the Cannery Arts Centre in Kepa Kurl / Esperance.

The exhibition at the Esperance Museum will feature videos of Esperance community members who actively give and share with others through diverse community initiatives. The video installation features interviews with Annie Dabb, Christiane Smith, Jennene Riggs, Karli Florisson, Kat Walkerden, Katie White, Kyron Smithson, Megan McDowall and Sam Starcevich.

The project is deeply inspired by the generosity and community spirit of the people of Esperance. Ana had the opportunity to witness the remarkable acts of giving, sharing, and volunteering of time, knowledge, skills, and resources during her stay in the Esperance community. "Seeder Futures" encapsulates the ethos of giving and explores the concept of gift economies within a community. It serves as a reflection and celebration of the essential role that giving plays in building and strengthening a connected and vibrant community.
