This project was created on the land of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong / Boon Wurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation. We pay respect to their Elders past and present. We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection they have maintained to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

Presented by La Mama at The Carlton Courthouse.

“It felt like you were in Dorothy’s house, travelling to strange lands. It was unsettling and wonderful – 4 stars” Eleanor Lindberg Melbourne Arts Fashion
