NOMADIK is a community-driven art initiative that invites participants to explore spontaneous creativity while emphasizing sustainability as a core value for collective well-being.
In partnership with Brimbank City Council, Fandata Studio is pleased to offer two free community art workshops in April and May. These workshops present an exciting opportunity for people of all ages and backgrounds to engage in the creative process and contribute to a collaborative public art project that will be displayed in a prominent location.
These workshops are open to individuals of all ages and skill levels, fostering an inclusive and welcoming creative environment. The theme of the workshops is ‘The Centre of My Hearth,’ with participants invited to create individual puzzle pieces using sustainable materials. These pieces will later be assembled into a large-scale paste-up mural, symbolising community unity and collective creativity. The finished artwork will be prominently displayed on a wall in Sunshine, leaving a lasting visual representation of collaboration and artistic expression.
Fandata Studio, led by artists Ana Rita Pires and Mito Elias, is dedicated to creating community-based, sustainable art. Since arriving in Melbourne in 2013, the duo has built an extensive portfolio, working with various community groups, cultural organisations, and local councils. Fandata Studio has collaborated with institutions such as the Brimbank City Council, City of Melbourne, ArtPlay, and Signal, and has also worked in countries like Timor-Leste, Cape Verde, Portugal, and Brazil. Through their work they foster inclusivity, sustainability, and creativity, empowering participants to engage with art in meaningful ways while minimising environmental impact through the use of recycled materials.
