Connecting Art with Climate

Presenter

Lynette Griffths enjoys exploring all forms of media, currently a leader in ghost net art collaborations nationally and internationally, designing and building installations and sculptural works. She has a strong commitment to arts development in communities, sharing her skills and knowledge to realise collaborative projects, which convey environmental and cultural messages. 

Her education experience enables her to design projects that link students and participants on an international platform by facilitating workshops with children and adults combining creative development and environmental materials including Ghost net. She has spoken extensively at national and international education and art conferences on practical and creative ways to build literacy through the arts and has co-developed a framework and pedagogy catering to indigenous learning styles. She is currently interested in methods and practices to diversify art production and engage young people within current art centre models. 

Lynette has qualifications in graphic design, ceramics, and education from the Queensland College of Art- Griffith University, QUT and Monash Lynnette works collaboratively to share knowledge and learn from others. She has lived in indigenous communities for more than 20 years as a TAFE teacher, arts worker and is currently managing artistic development on Erub (Darnley Island), designing, and curating national and international exhibitions, planning programs and conducting workshops with artists to develop their arts practice through research and material innovation. Developing ghost net (marine ghost gear) art through collaborative practice she has built Erub Art’s international profile and developed workshops on an international stage.
