Presenting at the Australian Mangroves and Saltmarshes Conference

On By Stephanie NevilleLeave a comment

Mangroves from the Water (MFTW) is the title for my presentation at the Australasian Mangroves and Saltmarshes (AMSN) Conference held at the University of Adeliade, 14 to 17 November 2023. My PhD study research at Deakin University is of the same title, Mangroves from the Water.

The 16 November presentation was successful as it was the sole speech explaining a different set of knowledge about the mangroves; from an artivist who situates philosophical and artistic embodied knowledge with the mangroves. I was able to bridge art and science in this conference. Being the sole artist in this conference encourages me to stress the importance of having more artists, writers, musicians and activists (artivists) to be involved in the annual AMSN conferences.

Finally, I thank all the artists and communities in the Geelong region and in the United Arab Emirates for supporting MFTW. 

Faithfully,
