Walking together across Corhanwarrabul (Dandenong Ranges), a group of artists shared place-responsive practices and considered what it means to ‘listen to Country’ through diverse perspectives.
Curated by Gretel Taylor with Gülsen Özer and Wurundjeri Traditional Custodian Mandy Nicholson, the artists responded through performative and visual mediums, evoking close-range encounters from walking in the forest, whilst reflecting upon global contexts from the viewpoint of the mountain.
