BioSPHERE Boodja – A Celebration of Country, Creativity and Community
As a key lead-in event to the 2025 Australian Ceramics Triennale, BioSPHERE Boodja is a powerful celebration of storytelling, collaboration, and connection on Ballardong Noongar Country in Goomalling.
This immersive day-long event brings together artists, musicians, cultural leaders, and community members for a vibrant program of hands-on workshops, live music, dance, and spoken word. Visitors can explore local artisan markets, enjoy regional cuisine, and take part in creative exchanges that celebrate both contemporary art and ancient cultural practices.
As the sun sets, a grand community-led procession of large-scale puppets weaves through town, culminating in breathtaking projections on the heritage-listed grain domes – a stunning fusion of light, movement, and story. The celebration continues under the stars with shared meals, live performances, and reflections on the collective spirit that defines BioSPHERE Boodja.
This event is not only a celebration of place but also of people – an invitation to experience the deep connections between art, Country, and community. It highlights the values at the heart of the Triennale: inclusion, creativity, and collaboration across cultures and generations.
