Artists working for Nature | Approach to Work

Artists have long created work inspired by nature – in the face of climate change, how do artists working with nature stay resilient to help inspire change and what are the steps we can take to support artists to effect change?

Please join us for this discussion featuring artists whose environmental work is represented in Assembly: Unveiling the City of Adelaide’s Contemporary Art Collection, on display at the Adelaide Town Hall, led by the curious mind of Trish Hansen.

This event is part of Nature Festival 2024.


Louise Flaherty is an artist informed by quiet reflection on the natural environment focusing on research into SA flora, her practice spans drawing and installation with a focus on collaborative community driven projects.

Lara Tilbrook works to Care for Country on the ancient homelands of the Kaurna, Ngarrindjeri and Narungga Nations on Karta Pintingga (Kangaroo Island). Her practice is fundamentally grounded in environmentalism with deep listening and change making at its core.

CJ Taylor engages with the concept of elastic photography in the Age of Extinction, the bushland where he lives on Peramangk country in southern Australia intimately shapes his practice.

Trish Hansen is the founder of Urban Mind Studio which acknowledges the crucial role of the arts and cultural sector as a leading contributor in creating a regenerative future that sustains everyone everywhere and the planet.
