The Metro Tunnel Creative Program and State Library Victoria proudly present Landscape and Remembering: In Conversation with Danie Mellor.

Hear from Danie Mellor, the artist behind Forever, a large-scale artwork at the entrance of the new State Library Station.

In conversation with Myles Russell-Cook (Artistic Director and CEO at ACCA), Danie will share the story behind this epic work, which features historical photographic portraits of Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung women set in contemporary landscape imagery of Wurundjeri Country, that Danie has captured using infrared photography.

This work acknowledges Victoria’s First Peoples and particularly women, honouring their social, familial and cultural contributions.

The historical images were sourced from State Library Victoria’s archives with the team from the Victorian Indigenous Research Centre.

Tickets to this artist talk are limited – secure yours by booking now.

Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung Elders were consulted in the development of Forever.
