Reclaim The Void - Kalgoorlie-Boulder Hub Celebration
Celebrating the Kalgoorlie-Boulder community involvement in the Reclaim the Void Project that currently consists of 3,000 rugs and still counting, contributed from communities all over Australia, and around the world.
Reclaim the Void was born from Ngalia elders in Leonora, Western Australia, expressing their pain and grief at ‘those gaping mining holes left all over our country’. The vision is to create a huge ‘dot’ artwork to lay on land affected by mining, created from 3,000 hand-woven rugs made from discarded fabric by people from around Australia and beyond. The finished artwork, inspired by an original painting by passed Ngalia elder and custodian for country, DW (below) will express the story of the country on which it is laid, on Ngalia tjukurrpa parna - sacred country - in the north-east Goldfields.
