Special Events: “Walk a mile in my shoes”
Artist in Residence: Fiona Arnold, participant of the UNSEEN project is collecting shoes from a diverse range of women who are sharing stories connected with moments in their lives. Fiona is supported by Women’s Housing Company. This work will form part of the exhibition at NSW Parliament House in August 2021. The shoes are a snap-shot of portraits of women’s lives and written stories. They represent different intersections of life, some confronting homelessness, abuse, addiction, mental illness, disability, poverty, sexuality, aging, racism, domestic violence, loss, unemployment and seeking asylum. The shoes represent the women in our communities who fight so hard advocating for change, human rights and social justice. These stories are often not heard and go unseen. The visual impact of ‘Walk a mile in my shoes’ enables the inclusion of many women’s stories to be
told and collectivity seen.

My practice utilises my knowledge of Arts Programming, Consulting and Development/Arts and Cultural Practices/Marketing and Promotion/Indigenous Protocols and Intellectual Property Rights/Problem Shooting/Webpage and Social Media Branding/Marketing Strategies/Brokerage/Arts Consultancy/Engagement to seek new ways of utilising the convergence of emerging technologies and their applications in the creation of Indigenous programs of benefit to Indigenous Arts.
