Public Sculpture:

its role in engendering creativity in the community

The role of public sculpture as both reflective ( of the community ) and prophetic (giving form to the visions of the community ) will be explored.  Tom Bass’ sculpture of ETHOS in Canberra will be the focus.  Glenda will speak of the artist as a seer and generator of totems that reflect the emotional truth and possibility of the people in a place and time.

Now in her 50th Birthday year it is an opportunty to reflect on the role ETHOS has played in the community and also give voice to the creative out pouring she has inspired through the song stories  and music by Glenda Cloughley and Johanna McBride and the Chorus of Women

 

The Address will be followed by a performance of the

Gifts of the Furies

The youthful voices of the Sydney University Theatre Ensemble MUSE will be added to the chorus.. Sydney Choralist are invited to participate.
