Nomad Two Worlds Art Exhibition

The last month, which I think I can speak for everyone - has been very hectic! My days have been planned down to the very hour and my work-life balance has consisted of assignments, internship, assignments, work and more work! My internship is running a little later than others, hence the later posts.

The 7th of November saw my final day of being a Curtin University Public Relations student and what a better way to celebrate than attending the Nomad Two Worlds art exhibition at the Perth Town Hall. The high-profile event was a media frenzy and I was positioned at the welcome desk where I greeted guests and handed out name tags. It was a great position to take as I watched the whole event unfold.

Nomad Two Worlds was created by Russell James and is a collaborative art project that focuses on providing support to the indigenous community and a platform to showcase their extraordinary work. Russell James is a Perth born photographer who now spends his days in photo shoots with Kendall Jenner and Victoria Secret Angels to name a few. Lance Chadd was the artist in focus on Friday night - a highly acclaimed Noongar artist whose portrayals of the West Australian landscapes have been awarded world-wide.

 The event was hosted by ATCO Australia as part of their commitment to the wider community. The Boorongurup artworks were exclusively revealed at the event which portray the cultural significance of the Porongurup Ranges in Western Australia's south-west.  I found that every time you looked at the artworks, you saw something more, a face, a tree and animal. Amazing how some people have such visual minds!

The event was great to be a part of and ends today, so if your in the city, I recommend popping in for a look!
