Circular Economies

Table of Contents

Circular Economies is a series of socially-engaged residencies in regional Western Australian communities over 2024-25, culminating in an exhibition at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts in 2026. The five artists and groups, House of Natural Fiber, Susan Hauri-Downing and Tarsh Bates, Loren Kronemyer, Linda Tegg, Ilona McGuire and Zali Morgan will respond to new contexts and communities to consider the ebb and flow of resources, both tangible and intangible, between regional and metropolitan communities and consider how communities are leading, resisting, and forging new solutions to finite resources.

SPACED acknowledges the Aboriginal people of the many traditional lands and language groups of Western Australia, on which our projects take place. Namely for this project, the Whudjuk, Wudjari, Wiilman and Ballardong people of the Noongar Nation and the Yinggarda people.

We recognise their continuing connection to these lands and waters, and thank them for their culture, knowledge, strength and ongoing custodianship. With our respects to their Elders past, present and future.
