On Country/In Residence

BodyPlaceProject collective will walk 'ngurrak barring', a new public art and cultural trail across the Dandenong Ranges (Corhanwarrabul), together with guest artists, all with deep interest in responding to place through their diverse artforms and perspectives. Over the 3-day 40km walk, artists will share practices and approaches to place, as a mobile, immersive professional development. One aim is to explore what First Nations people mean by 'listening to Country' through collaboration with Wurundjeri women's dance group, Djirri Djirri.  Artists will develop their responses for a subsequent multi-arts exhibition that reflects our experiences of walking together listening to Country.
