For the past two and a half years, Mossman-based artist Anastasia Klose has assisted Rainforest Reserves Australia’s conservation campaign to protect Queensland’s highly biodiverse coastal ranges from poorly sited industrial wind developments, focusing in particular on the proposed Chalumbin wind development near Ravenshoe.

This exhibition of new drawings, video and performance is a response to the Klose’s “random, exhausting and depressing adventures in conservation” and the artist’s growing awareness of diminishing biodiversity in Queensland and immanent threats to its unique landscapes.

Daily performances will take place 12 – 1pm, Tuesday to Saturday.

Opening Event: Friday 12 April, from 6pm.
