Leanne Thompson

Leanne values working collaboratively, especially across disciplines, and with diverse communities where creativity is harnessed to promote dialogue. She aims to develop modes that will visualise and communicate the information being shared, widening perception, and drawing an awareness to the tacit knowledge held in communities and places. Leanne’s socially engaged practice supports people individually and collectively, encouraging their ability to invest care through creative processes: making, repairing, growing, imagining, and sustaining.

‘Permeare’ will create a community engagement space to present and encourage ongoing discussion with the key outcomes from the 2020 Capertee Weaving Water project. The event space will be a site for information, interaction, and generation of a new woven installation, creating both a wider audience and embodied experience related to the hydrological function of the Capertee Valley now and into the future.
