Projections of a Current Future

Kummargii Yulendj Barring Gadhaba // Projections of a Current Future is a radical public art intervention that reimagines Melbourne’s landscape through the lens of Boon Wurrung knowledge and the enduring presence of water Country.

A collaboration between Boon Wurrung Senior Elder and Professor, N’arwee’t Dr Carolyn Briggs AM, The Alliance for Praxis Research (APR) and Amina Briggs, this project disrupts the city’s colonial infrastructure by resurfacing the buried path of William’s Creek with audio/visual projections, reawakening the ancestral memory of water that still flows beneath Melbourne’s streets.

Participants are invited to follow the flow of William’s Creek from its headwaters in Parkville to its meeting with the Birrarung River (the Yarra), choosing between two collective activations: a mass cycle on October 4th, or a walking march on October 11th, along the path of the iilks (eels).
