About this listen

 GUEST: Jill Sampson - visual artist, Bimblebox Art Project coordinator and the curator of Bimblebox 153 Birds. Jill completed a Fine Arts degree at Queensland College of Art in 2019 extending her previous study at the Sydney Gallery School. She was awarded the 2001 Pata Paris residency, France by Daniel and Anne Pata and the Sydney Gallery School. Jill was a keynote speaker at the Eco Arts Australis 3rd National Conference, Wollongong 2019 Introduction to this episode : The important capacity of environmental art to engage audiences powerfully with environmental challenges and potential solutions is still being researched. It is already clear however that environmental art’s ability to engage audiences on an emotional as well as purely cognitive level; to be able to reach the heart as well as the head on environmental problems is part of its power. My guest in this podcast episode, Jill Sampson has developed great expertise in helping harness environmental artistic power to persuade audiences about the dire threats to nature posed by fossil fuel expansion. Art has the capacity to do this in a non-threatening and inspiring manner and in ways which can help develop a motivation in audience members to want to care for and protect the natural world. Helping facilitate such work has been a cornerstone of Jill’s important environmental art advocacy achievements over more than ten years. A central focus for this interview is based upon Jill’s extended efforts from 2012 onward in helping develop and co-ordinate the ground breaking Bimblebox Art and Bimblebox 153 Birds Projects – along with their influential art, science and nature intersections, artist camps and touring exhibitions.
