Practice, partnerships, education, residencies, grants, and community impact
Emma’s current and upcoming projects include artist residencies, school-based cultural programs and collaborative community initiatives. Working alongside educators, students and organisations, she facilitates creative experiences that promote cultural understanding, inclusion and connection to Country.
Through grant-supported partnerships and tailored programs, Emma’s work brings together art, education and intercultural learning to strengthen communities and build respectful, informed relationships.
Together for Humanity
Emma’s experience as an Artist in residence has seen her work collaboratively within educational settings and Community programs, sharing cultural knowledge and creative practice with students, staff and families. In these residencies she not only creates art but also facilitates meaningful engagement, fostering understanding of Indigenous perspectives and strengthening connections between people and place. For example in Emma’s Our Captivating Culture - sharing stories program she worked alongside students and teachers to build cultural understanding through art-making, open and honest conversation, enriching learning experiences and relationships.
The Vision of organisations like Together for Humanity’s Intercultural Understanding Partnership Grants aligns with Emma’s Practice: these grants provide up to $10 000 for projects that’s that address intercultural or interfaith challenges in school communities, supporting initiatives that enhance belonging, respect and Cultural engagement. In essence, both Emma’s residency work and the grant funding model champion creative and educational pathways that bring people together, nurture empathy and amplify diverse voices - using art and intercultural learnings tools for connection, inclusion and social cohesion.
