‘A Letter to My Returning…’ is a creative recovery response project aiming to work with those who have been affected by the flood events of 2021/2022.

Arts North West has engaged local artists from flood-affected communities to create artworks and creative documentation that reflect on the flood events that have affected the region. Artists who created a body of work for A Letter to My Returning include:

Maree Kelly, Audrey Fogg, Marie Low, Lena Smith, Jo Duck, Lisa Marple, Tania Hartigan, Ethan Towns, Jade Punch, Alyssa Barwick, Helen Stanley, Mark Washington & Amy Canfield.

Through the power of letter writing, community members were invited to address a letter directly to the flood waters as part of a community engagement activity.

The letters and artworks have been curated as part of our touring exhibition ‘Letter to My Returning…’ and we are visiting regional locations including Bank Art Museum Moree, Gunnedah Bicentennial Creative Arts Gallery and the Wee Waa Arts and Cultural Centre.

Our exhibition 'Letters To My Returning' is touring the North West!
