Olkola Cultural Knowledge Centre

This studio continues our collaboration with the Centre for Appropriate Technology and the Olkola Aboriginal Corporation. This full design studio offering builds upon the conceptual masterplan design from the Olkola Summer Intensive (December 2018) to develop a design and construction strategy for the Olkola Rangers to self-build the Cultural Knowledge Centre at Sandy Creek Bore, Cape York. The studio involves a pre-travel instruction period, a ten day trip to Cape York and a post-design and construction documentation phase. The final output is a manual for construction that uses appropriate technologies, local resources and builds upon local labour skills to support Olkola people in their quest to live on country.

Join us as we learn about Olkola people and culture on Olkola country and contribute to Olkola’s vision for the future. Apply now and let us know why this studio interests you and what you will bring to the collaboration.
