In season 2 episode 9, we talk to Angaston based mosaic artist Kristin Wohlers. Originally from Germany, and an active artist for 20 years, Kristin has worked on many projects that have community orientated outcomes. She has recently completed the Reflection Sofas Project. A collaboration between The Barossa Council, Seeds of Hope Suicide Prevention Network and Black Dog Ride Australia, it’s hoped the sofas will be a symbol of hope and will help to break down society’s stigma around the topic of suicide. The sofas are dotted around the Barossa (Angaston, Mt Pleasant and Lyndoch).
Kristin is also the Community Office for MAANZ (the Mosaic Association of Australia and New Zealand) and has been an active leader in the Mosaic for Afghan women project in Australia. You can see the South Australian work on display at the Gawler Civic Centre until mid January
This project has been made possible by the support of Country Arts SA, Foundation Barossa and the PLAET.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
