Join First Nations curators and artists to discuss the creation of two major new site-specific artworks for Perth Festival – Karla Bidi and the Festival’s inaugural digital projection commission at East Perth Power Station for Boorloo Contemporary. Key creatives from these projects come together to explore how history is held in places and in archives, how storytelling can create collective experiences and how First Nations artists are envisioning collaborative futures.
Don’t miss an opportunity to hear how commissioning processes can create opportunities to share and strengthen culture.
Artists Daniel Hansen, Ilona McGuire, Ian Wilkes, and Yabini Kickett in conversation.
