Ngubitj, Samgooan, Water – Songs, Stories & Connection is a cross cultural, multidisciplinary arts project exploring grief, and connection to water and land through songs and stories. The projection and soundscape experience to be presented on Geelong City Hall as part of Surround Sounds Festival.
Weaving together languages from three continents; Wadawurrung, Mi’gmag and English, Ngubitj, Samgooan, Water - Songs, Stories and Connection will take the form of a visual projection and soundscape which will activate the centre of Djilang (Geelong). Projected on the Geelong City Hall, this project will facilitate a space where the public can learn from the Traditional Owners of the region; the Wadawurrung people, travel across oceans to engage with the Elsipogtog, Mi’gmag community (Canadian Indigenous Community) and engage with questions of our collective pasts and futures.
In this project, Vicki’s recordings of Wadawurrung Country are woven throughout the soundscape, where the songs of nature sing in harmony with the songs of Ngubitj, Samgooan, Water – Songs, Stories & Connection
This project has been generously supported by Creative Victoria and the City of Greater Geelong, and produced by Maverick Arts Management.
