Journey on Wadawurrung Country is a cultural exploration of our local indigenous people and their stories through artistic practise. Together in close consultation with Corrina Eccles (Wadawurrung Traditional Owner and cultural manager), Ferne Millen (art director / photographer) and Vicki Hallett (musician, sound artist, field recordist) will collaborate to capture the stories of the traditional custodians of Wadawurrung land.

The multidisciplinary exhibition featuring installations includes sound, visual arts and lighting in the Ryrie Street entrance-foyer of the Geelong Arts Centre. Millen’s fine art prints of portraits of Wadawurrung elders and landscapes of this country will be displayed and interwoven with Vicki Hallett’s sound recordings and interviews, thus activating the Foyer space into a full, sensory and immersive cultural learning experience for the public.

This pilot project will capture a cross-section of portraits, sounds and stories from identified Wadawurrung Traditional Owners and their lands.
