What's On

Audiences are invited into encounters with the material, ecological, historical, and cultural legacies that shape the waterways of Kulin Country. The resilience of the waterways and resistance to colonisation and extractive practices will be revealed by bringing attention to the intersections between submerged, channelised, and remnant waterways.

Guided by the Tributary Project team along with guests, this walk will provide the audience with a range of ways to connect with waterways through deep listening, physical movement, and an introduction to the creative processes used by the Tributary team to deepen site knowledge.

Tributary Encounter is supported by City of Melbourne Arts Grants.
