Description

This event invites audiences into encounters with the material, ecological, historical and cultural layers that shape Narrm/Melbourne’s waterways. This is the second in a series of walks led by the Tributaries team and will focus on lesser known creeks that flow through Quor-nóng/Royal Park, and that feed into the Moonee Ponds Creek, Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung country. The creeks are at times submerged below the ground, channelised, and have been co-opted into a complex drainage system yet endure and resonate.

The walk will include narration, Auslan, and audio description and use an expanded approach to listening as a way to connect with place. This is a Deaf/hard of hearing and Blind/low vision friendly event.

Tributaries is a collaborative creative research project led by Ying-Lan Dann, Geoff Robinson, Saskia Schut, and Benjamin Woods. Tributaries acknowledges the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people as the Traditional Custodians of the land and waterways in which this event takes place and pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
