Carol McGregor aims, through her practice, to explore alternative forms of cultural expression and to adjust new technologies that would help her further examine the diversity of ancestry, experiences and intimate histories concealed within the landscape.
For her doctoral project, McGregor examined the material culture of possum skin cloaks in South East Queensland (SEQ). Thanks to her research work and the workshop she facilitated,the contemporary making of possum skin cloak was revitalised in SEQ communities. In this workshop, Carol will explore how to discuss, connect with, and utilise cultural knowledges to create awareness in the classroom and your school.
