Relationships with things we eat
Artist Megan Cope is a Quandamooka woman (North Stradbroke Island) in South East Queensland. Here she explains how she collaborated with scientist Roberta Johnson to co-create an installation of a melting midden. Their installation embodies physical and personal transformations; transformations in nature with our massive burning of fossil fuels, with consequent thermal expansion, sea level rise and oceans becoming more acid; personal transformations in the co-creators themselves as they share different knowledge of disruption to natural cycles of climate, and changing relationships between people and creatures of the sea that have sustained Aboriginal Australians for tens of thousands of years.
