Stringybark 2018 is where a world of passive spaces, active spaces, learning spaces, sharing spaces all coexist.
Kitchen Revolution
Last year at Stringybark the challenge was to unpack and explore what it took to empower a community around the issues of waste and waste reduction. In 2018 we want to build on those efforts and goodwill to create even greater levels of awareness for the issues that matter to some of us but concern all of us. We want to get back in the kitchen, back in the garden and back to basics.
The Imaginarium
The Imaginarium is an immersive, multi-disciplinary art installation for Stringybark 2018. It is an artist led project that features work from local Secondary School Students who will be tasked with creating ‘up-cycled’ work that explores themes around species extinction, habitat fragmentation, hunting and poaching, climate change and pollution.
Jurassic Knox 2.0
Step back into a time when mega fauna of all shapes and sizes roamed throughout Knox. Jurassic Knox is a ‘Jurassic’ sized dig site where archaeology and paleontology intersect on a grand scale. Festival goers are invited to unearth the remains of giant flora and fauna from our distant past.
The Nature Corridor
Made by local Primary Schools in conjunction with festival sponsors Stud Park, the nature corridor is a celebration of slow living, green goodness and community pride. Thanks to all the kids, teachers and local community groups for bringing such buzz and life to this project!
Stringybark Food Park
Our very own food truck precinct offers a great place to sit, relax, eat and drink.
Maker Market
A hub of handmade, home grown and up-cycled items to appreciate, peruse and purchase!
Nature play
It is often said that nature is our greatest teacher. Working with all natural materials, the community is invited into an artist facilitated ‘maker space’ where the challenge is to imagine and refashion nature as it is and as it could be. The only things required are willing hands, curious minds and active imaginations!
Life Hacks with I.C.Robotics
Look around at the items we use every day. Some of these humble wares, believe it or not, have changed the world as we know it: gadgets, devices and instruments that have actively help shape the world we live in. For Stringybark these humble artifacts are placed in the hands of some truly crafty minds. Life hacks transform the mundane into the magic, the simple into the sophisticated and the ordinary into the whimsical.
Compost Revolution
The Compost Revolution takes the war on waste to the next level! The piece deliberately prompts users to examine their relationship to the food/produce we throw out...EVERYDAY! Using interactive and hands on learning devices, this large scale installation aims to explore the myriad ways we think about or sometimes don’t think about the 'food stuff' we routinely throw away.
Wild Action
An attraction that never fails to deliver! Wild Action returns with a giant menagerie of indigenous and endangered wildlife. This is the place to be if you’re looking to get up close and personal with some fury, feathered and scaled critters!
Three Live stages
of music, dance, performance, education and entertainment.
Fairground
A good place to find ones thrills might be at this all new, physical activities precinct.
