Doontanboro Kura: Melville Waters Dreaming Exhibition
Melville
Amplifying and celebrating Noongar language, the artworks in Doontanboro Kura were created collaboratively by Noongar Elders, Traditional Owners and community members.
At the centre of the exhibition was a large-scale, handmade map of the Melville area that features the locations of 17 Noongar placenames, layered with traditional Noongar iconography. Alongside handcrafted works, animations and soundscapes immerse the visitor in Noongar language, culture and stories.
A highlight saw Wireless Hill dramatically illuminated by a massive animated projection of the Noongar story of the creation of Wagoorjup, screened just four times during the exhibition season.
