As a multi-disciplinary artist who centres community and social practice; Daniele will be using her time during ArtKeeper to creatively develop three key projects, with a focus on research and building relationships.

These projects include:

Looks Like A Tourist: A large-scale choreographic work responding to the disturbing and damaging effects tourists (and humans at large) have on our natural (and social) environments.

Picnic for Birds: A new work in development exploring temporary structures which engage local native bird life in ‘feeding’. Raising concerns and issues around the ethics of feeding native wildlife, destruction of local habitat, while creating a contemporary performance installation from hand made ceramics, timber and found natural structures.

Shared Plates: An artistic and culinary exchange between the artist and Gold Coast community where a meal and conversation is shared in exchange for a hand-built ceramic plate. The plate captures a key moment, story, memory or recipe from each exchange – exploring what it is that connects people with food and a sense of community.
