Vitals is a feminist organisation and has a proud and continuing tradition of supporting women artists.Seeing the creative process of artists, and participating in experimentation and social investigation, is the hallmark of Vitalstatistix. Our heritage-listed home the Waterside Workers Hall and location in Port Adelaide is sublimely suited to this endeavour, and it is a unique offer that the organisation makes to both artists and audiences of art.Vitalstatistix aims to be a vibrant home on the Port River for Australian artists who are experimenting with and changing the world.

Vitalstatistix

Artist Deborah Kelly’s major new work in development, CREATION, proposes lateral, experimental ways to creatively engage with climate denialism. Through crowd-sourced wisdom, CREATION seeks to co-­devise the substance of a new belief structure with which to engage the rise of the irrational and its threat to civil society; one that emulates the emotive and sensual allure of faith. CREATION will offer secular society the senses of sacredness, ritual and connection that mobilise religious communities.
An ambitious undertaking, CREATION is being developed around Australia with writers, storytellers, visual artists, musicians and ritual-makers, through the co-creation of songs, manifesto, costumes, moving image works, parables, iconography, ceremonial dance, mysteries, rituals and believers.
For Adhocracy, Deborah will develop her workshop model through an exploration of food and sustenance; working with local foodies and workshop participants to develop recipes and then offering public, shared sacramental tastes.
Your chance to see: • Friday – 2-4pm workshop • Saturday – 2-4pm workshop • Sunday – 2-4pm workshop, followed by 6-8pm tastings and talks (durational)
NB: Workshop numbers are limited. Advance bookings required.
