Slag Heap Projects acknowledges the Wilyakali and Barkindji people, the traditional custodians of the lands, waters and skies within which our gallery and programs operate. We recognise that connection to culture and community is strong, and sovereignty has never been ceded.

Walks


Walking is at the centre of Slag Heap Projects, as a methdology for generating collective knowledge between artists and non-artists. This is an ongoing series, which began with walks at Imperial Lakes and up the Slag Heap in March 2024. 



Imperial Lakes

with Landcare ranger Dave Elston and Barrier Field Naturalists’ President Semitj Hopcraft 

9am, 16 March 2024


We walked Imperial Lakes with ranger, Dave Elston and Barrier Field Naturalists’ President Semitj Hopcraft to learn about how Broken Hill Landcare have approached conservation within a historical mining site.

This was the second of a series of walks for 2024, as we prepare for our first show of 2024, under|visible, opening in April.



A night walk up the Slag Heap


7:30pm, 14 March 2024


We were joined by 20 women and non-binary folk for a walk up the slag heap. As the beginning of community research for our first exhibition of 2024, under|visible, this night walk asked the community to simply be next to and notice the slag heap’s presence as both site and metaphor. By torch light, we walked in groups and alone exploring the particular architecture, geology and cultural landscape of this site.
