Description
Two of Australia’s iconic rivers are talking! Through films, posters and dialogue we bring together the Martuwarra-Fitzroy River and the Barka-Lower Darling in New South Wales (NSW). Featuring short film ‘Martuwarra Fitzroy River of Life’ and highlights from the recent ‘Aquawhen?’ exhibition in Canberra, you are invited to view posters of testimonies before the 2019 Citizen’s Inquiry on the Health of the Barka-Darling River in 2019 by artists Rix Lee and Tom Horne; and the short film made in 2019-20 of the Barka-Lower Darling River (created by Otis Filley & Dan Schulz) including the sounds of the Barka-Darling and the relationships between water and life. The films will be followed by a panel discussion and audience Q&A.
