piyura kitina & Bedlam Walls
Public art instillation
Presented by Constance ARI in collaboration with the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre
Country Calling
This work was created to reunite a cultural landscape.
A landscape that has been divided into sites and parcels.
A landscape still connected by story.
Stories told, stories left. Stories of family, community and gathering. Of deep bags and freshwater to follow. Of fires and shells up the hill. Stories of quarries, tools, hunting and kangaroo.
Mumarimina stories that palawa still tell.
Palawa stories that continue.
There are chimes at both piyura kitina and Bedlam walls. The chimes bear the mark of the landscape. Imprinted with plant, stone, ash and earth.
The chimes made from one place, brought to the other.
Hear piyura kitina and bedlam walls reunited with sound.
They sound for each other and they sound together
Hear in the chiming the story of one landscape, one journey across mumarimina country made many times. Q
