Wunder Gym x Wyndham City ‘NO SHIT’ PANEL Past Event
Presented by Annette Wagner
The ‘No Shit’ community creative program commenced on Monday 29th November 2021 and this Q&A Panel Event launches the publication ‘No Shit’, featuring Fatima Measham and Dr. Cameron Bishop, hosted by Annette Wagner.
Wagner’s Wunder Gym has partnered with Wyndham City to present ‘No Shit!’, a creative development program nurturing thirty, early career, creatives. Program participants will be responding to writer Fatima Measham’s essay ‘No Shit’ and mentored by artist, writer and Deakin University’s Public Art Commission ‘Treatment’ co-curator Dr. Cameron Bishop. The ‘No Shit!’ Wunder Gym program comprises three main elements: a mentored creative response to a provocation; responses showcased in a publication; and launch of the publication.
The creatives are mentored via participant only events throughout the program, resulting in a 40-page publication. The publication will feature Measham’s essay, the creative’s responses documented and detailed, and a co-authored essay by Bishop and Wagner. This panel event invites attendees to hear from Measham and Bishop about their work.
