On Country Publication and Poster: Waraburra Nura

This project involved designing a poster and small publication inspired by Waraburra Nura, an Indigenous medicinal plant garden at UTS, exploring its cultural significance through respectful engagement and research while encouraging the audience to take action and involve themselves within the space.

Concept Statement

My conceptual approach for this project was to encapsulate the atmosphere that the garden produces through different weather frames with the medium of cyanotype printing. The choice for cyanotype printing came about as I wanted to experiment with a technique that would capture the garden through a natural form (sunlight) and have a unique visual language for the project. My aim for the publication was to showcase the garden through a poetic concertina publication, combining prints, expressive typography, and Darug and Gadigal language.The poster utilised a grid layout to reflect the garden’s different moods, paired with a direct call to action encouraging audiences to experience its atmosphere.
