FREMANTLE X SA BIENNALE ARTIST EXCHANGE
Shupiwe Chongwe has been selected as the inaugural Western Australian participant in a new exchange program between the sā Ladakh Biennale in the Indian Himalayas and the Fremantle Biennale on the Indian Ocean.
This pioneering collaboration connects both continents through long-form residencies, focusing on regenerative practices and interventions in times of a changing climate. It aims to foster environmentally responsive creative practices and awareness raising.
Shupiwe will undertake a residency with the Parkhang Collective and the Likir pottery community in Ladakh, known for using traditional materials like sun-dried mountain clay, cow dung for kiln firing, and sulphur from hot springs.
