Weaving Water EoIs extended
by DR TRACEY M BENSON POSTED ON AUGUST 2, 2025
As many readers know, Treecreate Studio runs a range of educational and creative programs. Our biggest offering is the Weaving Water residencies which have been offered online and on site on Yarun (Bribie Island) in Moreton Bay, one of the most biodiverse regions in Australia (alongside the rest of SE Qld)
In 2025, we are are also facilitating a transdisciplinary residency in Vanuatu, in partnership with Leweton Cultural Experience.
As the program takes shape we are able to offer a couple more places in both programs this year.
In 2025 we are very excited to announce Treecreate will be facilitating three Weaving Water residencies.
Weaving Water @ online for World Water Week (25 to 29 August 2025). This virtual program will explore the waters of our local places and how they are impacted by human activity. We are very interested in regenerative projects and evolving transdisciplinary projects which explore dialogues between species and the waters (24 places).
Weaving Water @ Vanuatu (28 September to 2 October 2025) brings together Sandy Sur and the Leweton Cultural Experience with Treecreate and the evolving Weaving Water community. (10 places available).
Weaving Water @ Yarun 2025 (1 to 11 December 2025) explores the concepts of water, relational ways of being and connectivity. It is an in-person residency program scheduled between 1 to 11 December 2025 on Yarun (Bribie Island), Queensland Australia. (21 places available)
All of the residencies are open for applications and EoIs will be reviewed by a peer panel as we are anticipating many applications.
Building on the transformational Weaving Water @ Yarun residency in 2023, Weaving Water @ online, Weaving Water @ Vanuatu and Weaving Water @ Yarun 2025 will bring together scientists, knowledge holders, technologists and creatives to work collaboratively, with a focus on linking diverse knowledges to co-create across disciplines and meditate on the themes of climate change, ecological restoration, water and the more-than-human.
