The Overwintering Print Project is on display at the @southaustralianmuseum until 12 November. The Overwintering Project is an environmental art project that invites artists to visit, research and respond to migratory shorebirds and their habitats. Each year 36 shorebird species migrate from Australia and New Zealand to their breeding grounds above the arctic circle in Siberia and Alaska, crossing 23 countries along the way. Since the project began more than 200 printmakers have created works inspired by these remarkable birds and the need to preserve their critical overwintering habitats, including Adelaide’s own International Bird Sanctuary – Winaityinaityi Pangkara. Come along to the South Australian Museum and enjoy an exhibition showcasing these incredible creatures and the more than 100 internationally important overwintering sites that provide them sanctuary each year. Huge thanks as always to @kategorringesmith for organising this amazing project :) #overwintering #printproject #migratoryshorebirds #southaustralianmuseum #whatsonadelaide #artexhibition #southaustralia #iputabirdonit (at South Australian Museum) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVok5XlBi5_/?utm_medium=tumblr
